Along Hungerford Bridge

The Golden Jubilee and Hungerford Bridges, towards the Victoria Embankment.

 

Hungerford Bridge was built in 1864, designed by Sir John Hawkshaw (1811-91), superseding the 1859 suspension bridge.

In 2002 two permanent walkways were opened; these were designed by Lifschutz Davidson and replaced a single dilapidated walkway. These were called the Golden Jubilee Bridges in honour of the then 50th anniverary of the coronation of Elizabeth II.
