Kew Bridge is a wide-span bridge over the Tideway (upper estuary of the Thames) linking the London Boroughs of Richmond upon Thames and Hounslow.[2][3] The present bridge, which was opened in 1903 as King Edward VII Bridge by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra,[nb 1] was designed by John Wolfe-Barry and Cuthbert A Brereton.[1] Historic England listed it at Grade II in 1983.[2][3]
