Easy. Putney. Hammersmith is nice as well, especially as it's pedestrians only at the moment.

Indubitably the Forth Bridge - iconic.
and incidentally there are two Severn Bridges.

Apart from presumably sketching some nice drawings for the initial optioneering, the architect's role in designing that will have been pretty minimal.Beautiful bridge , note the French never mention the architect was BRITISH
Which is largely the case for all bridges. There's the occasional little feature bridge where they get to whip their pencil out and write some nonsense about how "the shape of the bascule echoes the fish hooks that were once so important to the fishing industry in the town etc. etc." but generally the engineers do all the work. Which is why most bridges tend to be prosaic concrete or steel things.
Anyway, I can't begin to choose just one so I'll post this photo and leave it.

Or 114 according to this, 31 of which are listed or a scheduled ancient monument.

Have we had the legendary local bridge immortalised in book and film? Also the source of much snickering by the immature.
