Albert Bridge

Albert Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Thames in London, connecting Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south bank. It was designed by Rowland Mason Ordish and opened in 1873, employing a distinctive hybrid cable-stayed and suspension design. The bridge is renowned for its ornate Victorian ironwork and its nightly illumination by thousands of light bulbs, making it one of the most visually striking crossings on the Thames. Due to its relatively fragile structure, military personnel marching across are required to break step to avoid resonance damage.
