Garden Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in London
The Garden Bridge was a proposed pedestrian bridge over the River Thames in London, England.
Conceived by the British actress Joanna Lumley in 1998 and designed by Thomas Heatherwick, working with Arup, the project was cancelled in 2017 due to lack of support.
The bridge was intended to feature trees and gardens, reflecting Britain's rich history in garden design and horticulture.
Despite its cancellation, the Garden Bridge project sparked widespread debate about public space and funding in London.
The Garden Bridge would have been the first of its kind in London, a bridge completely covered with vegetation.
