Battersea Bridge, Grade II listed iron arch bridge in Chelsea and Battersea, England.
The Battersea Bridge stretches 221 meters across the River Thames, constructed with cast iron and granite, featuring five substantial arches.
Engineer Joseph Bazalgette designed this bridge to replace a wooden structure, leading to its official inauguration on July 21, 1890.
The original wooden bridge at this location inspired numerous paintings by artists including J.M.W. Turner and James McNeill Whistler.
The bridge forms part of the A3220 road network, connecting the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with the London Borough of Wandsworth.
The structure measures only 12 meters in width, making it one of the narrowest bridges crossing the River Thames in London.
