Description
Kew Bridge, built in 1903 by Sir John Wolfe Barry and Cuthbert Breveton, features three elliptical arches spanning the river, supported by a series of small arches along the long approaches. The bridge is constructed of granite, showcasing rustic voussoirs and a bracketed cornice beneath the parapet. It includes cartouches displaying the coats of arms of Surrey and Middlesex in the spandrels on either side of the central arch. Part of the structure is located in the London Borough of Hounslow.

Kew 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.
