Hungerford Bridge with Big Ben in back
More correctly the Hungerford Bridge and Golden Jubilee Bridges
The Hungerford Bridge crosses the River Thames in London,
and lies between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge. It is a steel
truss railway bridge — sometimes known as the Charing Cross
Bridge — flanked by two more recent, cable-stayed, pedestrian bridges
that share the railway bridge's foundation piers, and which are
properly named the Golden Jubilee Bridges.
The north end of the bridge is Charing Cross railway station, and
is near Embankment Pier and the Victoria Embankment. The south end is
near Waterloo station, County Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, and the
London Eye. Each pedestrian bridge has steps and lift access.
