Everything about Grosvenor Bridge totally explained
This article is about the London bridge. For the Chester bridge, see Grosvenor Bridge (Chester).
Grosvenor Bridge, often alternatively called
Victoria Railway Bridge, is a railway bridge over the
River Thames in
London, between
Vauxhall Bridge and
Chelsea Bridge. It actually consists of two bridges, both built in the mid-
19th century. The eastern side was built by the
London, Chatham and Dover Railway in
1858 to
60 to carry trains into
Victoria station; it was the first railway bridge across the Thames in central London. The western side was built by the
London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in
1865 to
66. The designers were Sir John Fowler and Sir Charles Fox for the two bridges respectively.
Both bridges were rebuilt in steel in
1963–
67, the original piers now being encased in concrete. The designer for this work was
Freeman Fox & Partners.
On the north bank is
Pimlico to the north and east and
Chelsea to the west; the Lister Hospital and the
Royal Chelsea Hospital lie immediately to the north west. On the south bank is
Nine Elms to the east and
Battersea to the west.
Battersea Power Station is immediately to the south of the bridge, and
Battersea Park to the south west.
