Westminster Bridge is one of the most iconic bridges in London, England, connecting Westminster to the South Bank of the River Thames.

The bridge has been the backdrop of countless movies and TV shows, and is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks.

The bridge was designed by Charles Barry and Thomas Page and is made of granite and Portland stone. It is the oldest of the bridges across the Thames, and is the site of many of London’s most important events, including the annual Trooping of the Colour, a ceremony held to celebrate the Sovereign’s birthday.

The bridge is adorned with eight statues, each representing an important person in British history. These include Thomas Telford, John Howard, George IV, and William Shakespeare, among others.

The bridge is a popular spot for pedestrians and cyclists, with wide pavements and a dedicated cycle lane. It is also the site of many of London’s most iconic events, such as the annual New Year’s Day Parade and the Chinese New Year parade.
