Description

Kingston Bridge, built between 1825 and 1828 by Edward Lapidge, is a notable structure located in Kingston-upon-Thames. It was opened by the Duchess of Clarence, who later became Queen Adelaide. The bridge is constructed from Portland stone and features five rusticated arches, with the central arch adorned with an armorial keystone. It has a bold cornice and a balustraded parapet. The semi-circular cutwaters support flat panelled piers that are topped with small balcony projections that extend forward from the balustrade. The bridge was widened in 1914, and one original cast iron lamp standard remains in place. Part of the bridge is situated in the Borough of Richmond-on-Thames.

Local climate

Kingston Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
