Description
Kew Railway Bridge, opened in 1869, was designed by W R Galbraith. It is a lattice girder bridge supported on iron piers in three stages. The structure features a round base that carries a drum with four engaged columns. Above track level, there is a tabernacle with an arched roof, which is supported by paired columns that frame an elaborate cast-iron screen.
Local climate
Kew Railway 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 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
