Looks to me as though the Serpentine has been drained ?



I know that lots of lakes were drained during wartime to remove aerial navigation marks [reflections] for bombers.

no, think this is the temporary wartime wooden bridge, see Clunn "Face of London" therefore next bridge downstream is Hungerford

This is an emergency wartime bridge

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crossings_of_the_River_Thames



At least two Emergency Thames Bridges were erected as a precaution against enemy action during World War II.

The first of these bridges was built from Victoria Embankment to County Hall, London and was constructed in 1942 [6] before being demolished in 1948.[7]



The second such bridge was constructed at Millbank outside the Tate Britain in 1942 [8] before also being dismantled in 1948.[9]
