Lambeth Bridge, Grade II listed road bridge in City of Westminster, England
The five-span steel arch bridge stretches 252 meters across the River Thames, connecting Westminster on the north bank to Lambeth on the south bank.
The current structure replaced an 1862 suspension bridge and opened in 1932 under the design of architect Sir Reginald Blomfield and engineer Sir George Humphreys.
The bridge features ornamental obelisks at each end topped with stone pinecones, reflecting architectural elements from the nearby House of Lords chamber.
Transport for London maintains three traffic lanes on the bridge, including a dedicated eastbound route for buses crossing between Westminster and Lambeth.
The bridge displays a distinctive red paint scheme that matches the color of the leather benches found in the House of Lords.
