Used it regularly in 70’s and 80’s but was never over 32t. Apparently all bridges in Southwark now have a max weight of 40t.

Tower Bridge has an eighteen tonne limit I believe.

In the 70s it didnt.
UK max wt was then 32t on 4 axle artics, and we went over there all the time. Lorry park right beside it too, in Tooley St.

The original question was referring to the current weight limit not the historic ones.

I lived in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey between 1974 and 1989 and worked for BRS for a short time so was acquainted with the various restrictions in that area.
