Westminster Bridge
Parliament's nearby span
Westminster Bridge is a road and pedestrian bridge spanning the River Thames in London, connecting Westminster on the west bank to Lambeth on the east.
It sits adjacent to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, making it one of London's most recognizable landmarks and a popular spot for tourists photographing the iconic skyline.
The bridge inspired William Wordsworth's 1802 sonnet "Composed upon Westminster Bridge," which praises the view of London at dawn.
