Battersea Railway Bridge and River Thames London
Battersea Railway Bridge and River Thames London
A view of the River Thames and Battersea Railway Bridge on a stormy afternoon. The bridge was designed by William Baker, the chief engineer of the London and North Western Railway, and opened in March 1863. Nowadays it is officially called the Chelsea River Bridge by its owners Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, and is used by the West London Line of the London Overground. The modern high rises on the right are apartment buildings that are part of a huge new development project on the Chelsea Waterfront. The brick chimneys are part of the Lots Road Power Station, a disused power station that supplied electricity to the London Underground system. The high rise building on the left is the Belvedere Tower, Chelsea Harbour, which also contains luxury apartments. The boat in the foreground is part of a moored houseboat community.
