Hammersmith Bridge is a suspension bridge located in London, England that spans the River Thames. The bridge, which connects the boroughs of Hammersmith and Barnes, was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and opened in 1887. It is made of wrought iron and is the only bridge over the Thames between Putney and Chiswick bridges.

The bridge was built to relieve traffic congestion on the narrow bridges upstream, and has two spans, each of which is 160 feet long. It is a double-suspension bridge, with the two sets of suspension chains connected to cast iron towers on either side of the river. The towers are constructed of red brick and are topped with small copper domes.

The bridge was originally a toll bridge, with a toll house located on the Hammersmith side of the bridge. The toll house was removed in the early 20th century, and the bridge is now free to cross.

The bridge is popular for its views of the river, and is a popular spot for photographers and sightseers. In the summer, people can often be seen fishing off the bridge, or enjoying the views from its benches. The bridge is also popular with tourists, as it provides a direct route into central London.

The bridge is also an important link in the Thames Path, a National Trail that follows the course of the River Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier. The Thames Path crosses the bridge, and is used by walkers, cyclists, and runners.

The bridge has been home to a number of famous events, including the Great River Race, which is an annual rowing race that takes place along the Thames. The famous Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race also passes under the bridge, and the bridge has been the site of a number of royal visits, including Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh in 2002.

The bridge has also had its fair share of accidents and tragedies, including a fatal fire in 1957 and a road accident in 2003 that killed six people.

Despite its age, Hammersmith Bridge remains an important part of London's transport network and is a popular spot for visitors to the city. Its iconic design and dramatic views of the Thames make it a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Its importance to the city is evident, and it will likely remain a part of the landscape for many years to come.
