Westminster Bridge, designed by Thomas Page, opened on 24 May 1862 as a road-and-foot-traffic crossing of the River Thames in London, built between 1854 and 1862.
The current bridge was designed by Thomas Page and opened on 24 May 1862. It is a road-and-foot-traffic bridge crossing over the River Thames in London, linking Westminster on the west side and Lambeth on the east side. The bridge was built between 1854 and 1862. A legacy hint that it replaced an earlier stone bridge is not supported by the supplied passages and is therefore not asserted here.
