Chelsea Bridge

Chelsea Bridge spans the River Thames between Chelsea and Battersea. It is a 107-meter long bridge that was officially opened in 1937 by MacKenzie King, the Canadian Prime Minister, due to the fact that most of the timber came from Douglas Firs from Canada. It is a Grade II listed, self-anchored steel suspension bridge. There are a range of heraldic designs on the bridge, and every Friday bikers meet peacefully under one of the doves holding olive branches, following the death of a biker in 1970. It is floodlit at night with 285 meters of light emitting diodes. - Caroline Collard
