King's College, King's Bridge, Stone footbridge at King's College, Cambridge, England
The white limestone bridge spans the River Cam with three elegant arches, connecting the main college grounds to its gardens and meadows.
Built in 1819 by architect William Wilkins, the bridge represents a notable addition to King's College during its expansion in the early nineteenth century.
The bridge forms part of the traditional route students take during graduation ceremonies when moving between college buildings and the Senate House.
The structure provides direct access for pedestrians between King's College Chapel and the western side of the campus throughout the academic year.
The bridge's central arch contains mathematical proportions that create perfect reflections in the water during specific times of the day.
