Kew Railway Bridge

The five wrought iron lattice spans of Kew Railway Bridge extend across the River Thames, connecting Kew with Strand-on-the-Green in Chiswick.

The bridge opened in 1869 as part of the London and South Western Railway extension from Acton Junction to Richmond, constructed by Brassey & Ogilvie.

The structure received Grade II listing status in 1983, marking its importance in Victorian engineering and transportation development in London.

The bridge carries both London Overground trains between Richmond and Stratford, plus District Line services from Richmond to Upminster.

The north arch under the bridge houses the Strand on the Green Sailing Club, which has rented this space since 1964.
