Blue Bridge

noun

Thamesmead, South-East; Local slang reference to the Thamesmead area, South-East London, and it's distinctive blue-painted pedestrian bridges. The term is used both literally—referring to the well-known blue bridges—and symbolically as a way of naming the area, postcode identity, or local sets associated with that part of SE28. In UK drill and grime slang, “Blue Bridge” functions much like other neighbourhood markers, signalling where someone is from or which estates they move through.
