Kew Railway Bridge, seen from the Thames foreshore at Strand on the Green

A shot taken on a very warm Sunday afternoon in April, 2011, looking downstream at low tide. There are a number of pubs along this stretch of river - in this shot, the customers of the 'City Barge' and the 'Bull's Head' can be seen sitting out along the river bank. The bridge was built for the London & South Western Railway, and opened in 1869, to form part of that company's route from Kensington to Richmond. It was later handed over to the District Railway, forerunner of the District Line. It now also carries the Overground's Richmond to Stratford service.
