Chelsea Bridge, Suspension bridge in London, United Kingdom
The 213-meter steel bridge connects Chelsea and Battersea across the River Thames with its white-painted towers and suspended deck structure.
The current Chelsea Bridge, opened in 1937, replaced an earlier Victorian suspension bridge that served as a toll crossing until 1879.
The bridge underwent a color scheme modification in 2007, featuring white with red trim and greyish blue balustrades, after complaints about its previous appearance.
The Grade II listed structure provides a vital crossing point between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the London Borough of Wandsworth.
The bridge illumination system creates reflections on the Thames water surface during nighttime, while pedestrians capture photographs from its walkways.
