The oldest architectural landmark in London, connecting the districts of Westminster and Lambeth, has been adorning the capital for more than 150 years and serves as a source of inspiration for many.
It is here that the poet William Wordsworth once wrote his sonnet, and today there is a plaque with his lines on the bridge. The design of the seven-arched metal structure in the Gothic style was developed by engineer Thomas Page and architect Charles Berry. Not so long ago, the bridge was completely restored. It took 2 years to restore its original decorations and repaint the entire length with green paint. The building is 252 meters long and 26 meters wide. It is decorated with lanterns, the coats of arms of Victoria and Albert, a statue of Queen Boudica at the western entrance and a stone lion. The bridge is located a few steps from the metro station of the same name, close to other iconic sights of the city, popular restaurants and cafes.
