  • The City Bridge Trust, is the working name of the grant-making arm of Bridge House Estates and was set up in 1995. The Bridge House Estates are run by a committee of the City of London Corporation ("The City Lands & Bridge House Estates") the Chairman of which holds the honorific title of "Chief Commoner" and therefore cannot be an Alderman. The chairmanship is held for only one year as the responsibilities are so onerous. Originally established by Royal Charter in 1282 to maintain London Bridge, it later rebuilt it several times and built Blackfriars Bridge and Tower Bridge. It also purchased Southwark Bridge from the toll-exacting private company that had built it, and most recently took over ownership and maintenance of the new pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge, having provided a large amount of the funding for its construction.
  • Bridge House Estates er et legat i Storbritannia forvaltet av Corporation of London. Legatet ble opprinnelig stiftet for å holde ved like London Bridge, og har siden gjenoppbygget broen flere ganger, finansiert oppførelsen av Blackfriars Bridge og Tower Bridge, ervervet Southwark Bridge og overtatt eierskapet til London Millennium Bridge. Legatet hadde sine første kontorer i en bygning kalt Bridge House på sydsiden av London Bridge, rett innenfor City of Londons grenser. Det ble opprinnelig finansiert av avgifter på London Bridge, samt veldedige bidrag, og samlet etterhvert en omfattende eiendomsportefølje som gjorde legatet selvforsørgende. I tillegg til å vedlikeholde broene har stiftelsen siden 1995 benyttet overskuddet til å utdele stipender til beste for Stor-Londons innbyggere.
