Kingston Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Kingston upon Thames, England.
Kingston Bridge is a stone arch crossing over the River Thames with five elliptical arches made from Portland stone. The structure measures about 382 feet in length and roughly 79 feet in width.
Before Putney Bridge opened in 1729, this was the only crossing of the Thames between London Bridge and Staines Bridge. It became a major traffic point as London expanded outward over the centuries.
The bridge links Kingston's market area with the royal gardens at Hampton Court, serving as a vital passage between everyday commerce and historic grounds. Visitors can see how it connects two different landscapes on either side of the river.
The bridge carries thousands of vehicles daily and is one of the busier roads in this area. The best time to cross on foot is outside peak hours, typically early morning or late afternoon.
Embedded in the bridge are tram lines from 1906 that remain visible today. These tracks show how London's local transport evolved during the early 1900s.
