Westminster Bridge is a road traffic and foot bridge over the River Thames between Westminster and Lambeth, in London. It is right next to the Houses of Parliament.

History[change]

Until Westminster Bridge was built in 1750, there was only one bridge^[1] crossing the River Thames.^[2]

In June 2012, the bridge was highlighted on the route of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames.^[3]

↑ Before 1750, London Bridge was the only bridge across the Thames.
