Hampton Court Bridge

Hampton Court Bridge is a concrete structure with steel arches that spans the River Thames, connecting East Molesey to Hampton. The construction measures approximately 97 meters long and about 21 meters wide.

Architect Edwin Lutyens designed this bridge in the 1930s as a replacement for an older structure. It was officially opened in 1933 and now holds Grade II listed status.

The bridge sits near Hampton Court Palace and forms part of the architectural landscape in this area. Visitors notice how its design blends with the historic surroundings.

The bridge allows vehicles and pedestrians to cross the river between Surrey and Greater London. Visitors can explore it from both banks and gain good views of the Thames and surrounding areas.

Edwin Lutyens was known for blending modern engineering needs with classical design principles. This bridge demonstrates exactly that balance between functional construction and elegant form.
