Description
Battersea Bridge, designed by J W Bazalgette in 1890, is a Grade II listed structure featuring five spans of unequal radii that rise to a distinct central apex. The piers have stone-faced cutwaters with channelled rustication, and each pier supports a stone pilaster that extends to road level. The wrought iron spans spring from the piers, with their outer edges swept back in a concave section and ribbed. The spandrels are adorned with iron panels featuring foliated decoration in flat relief. Above the spans, a cornice that curves around the stone pilasters indicates the road line. This cornice supports stone pedestals with swept cornices above each pilaster, and between every two pedestals is an iron balustrade made up of coupled colonnettes from which stilted arches spring. The bridge was previously listed under the London Borough of Wandsworth, but that entry was removed from the list on 15 November 2017.
Local climate
Battersea Bridge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
