Description:
- 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 as 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 a range of light emitting diodes.
