Chelsea Bridge

Chelsea Bridge is famous for its unique self-anchored suspension design and its history as a popular spot for motorcyclists in the 1950s. It's also known for being the site where Julius Caesar is believed to have crossed the Thames during his invasion of Britain. Additionally, the bridge is aesthetically pleasing, with ornate pillars and floodlighting that illuminates its towers and cables at night.

Lovely bridge, especially at night.

One of the nicest bridges in London! I love the lights on it and I love coming here in the golden hour! You are greeted with a beautiful view of the Thames and on the other side you also have a railway bridge! It is fantastic! I'd highly recommend a look around the bridge and Battersea itself! It is absolutely stunning!

I've really got into bridges lately, so it was a pleasant surprise as we made our way into London on an absolutely awful National Express service (overnight with a 45 minute stop in Birmingham where all passengers are ordered to leave the coach at 245am to wait in a cold bus station on hard seats with knobbly bits to stop people trying to sleep on them) and my heart was gladdened by the sight of this rather pretty and under appreciated Thames Bridge. Lit up with lights it's quite a sight in the first fi gers of dawns light, the brooding Thames doing it's thing underneath. As a bridge it functions adequately and I'd have no hesitation recommending people check it out if in the area.

Chelsea Bridge is a lovely bridge to get from Chelsea to Battersea (or the other way around) by car, bus, walking or cycling. There is a generous walkway on both sides and a pedestrian pass through under the Battersea side of the bridge. You will see the bridge from the banks of the Thames and from the sister bridges on the river. There is also a great view of the bridge from the Lift 109 experience at Battersea Power Station. The bridge is lit at night and is quite lovely. When going from the north bank of the Thames to get to the Southbank there is easy access by whichever mode of transport you are using.

Chelsea bridge use to be a very popular meeting place for motorcyclists every Friday night and the long tradition of Chelsea cars cruise night, last Saturday of every month. All that that has long gone now, but the Burger stand stand on Chelsea bridge has survived, and is stIll a good place to get a Cheese Burger and a coffee.

Fantastic views; safe place; long beautiful walk; accessible via bus train and taxi

One of my favourite brides . Really enjoyable also for a walk towards the park. I love the view of the battersea power station and some skyscrapers on the one side and the lighted bridge on the other. Sometimes when I cross the bridge I feel like I am in a US city (I mean it’s kind of posh, magical, nice lighting). Sometimes the road is busy so drivers be ready..
