Hungerford Bridge

Hungerford Bridge is a railway bridge connecting the banks of the Thames, located between the Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge. It consists of two parts. The older, middle, called "Charing Cross Bridge" is a structure consisting of steel beams with tracks running in the middle. On both sides of it are new footbridges, each 4 meters wide, called Golden Jubilee Bridges. They were added in 2002. You can get to them both by stairs and by elevator.

The original bridge was built in 1845 according to the design of Isambard Kingd Brunel. Initially, it only served for pedestrians. Fourteen years later it was rebuilt for the needs of the railway, according to the design of John Hawkshaw. In turn, in the nineties of the twentieth century pedestrian walkways, then called Hungerford Footbridges, were modernized. In 2003, Golden Jubilee Bridges won the Royal Fine Art Commision Award, and a year later the Insitution of Structural Engineers Award.
