Kew Railway Bridge

The bridge, which received Grade II listed status in 1983, was designed by W.R. Galbraith and constructed by Brassey & Ogilvie for the London and South Western Railway. It is part of the extension of the Acton Junction to Richmond railway line.

In 1964, the Strand on the Green Sailing Club acquired the north arch beneath Kew Railway Bridge, initially rented from British Rail and later from Network Rail.

The bridge comprises five wrought iron lattice girder spans, each 35 meters long. Its cast-iron piers are ornately decorated in three stages. During World War II, a pillbox was constructed at the south end of the bridge, along with an open enclosure designed for firing an anti-tank gun.

The bridge carries two electrified tracks, equipped with both third rail and London Underground-style fourth rail systems. It is owned by Network Rail and used by London Overground trains on the North London line, running between Richmond and Stratford. These tracks are also shared by London Underground's District line trains, which run between Richmond and Upminster.
