Description

The Len Bridge is a 14th-century stone bridge located on Mill Street, spanning the Len stream, which flows into the Medway. It features two small pointed arches and is flanked by buttresses. An alcove edged with brick is present on the left side. The bridge is mostly obscured by a modern bridge that has been built over it and extends beyond it. It is scheduled as an Ancient Monument and is part of a group that includes several significant structures related to the Archbishop's Palace and surrounding areas.

Local climate

The Len Bridge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 740 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 76% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 76% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% 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.
