Albert Bridge
Albert Bridge, located in London, is a historic structure that spans the River Thames between Chelsea and Battersea. Opened in 1873, it was designed by Rowland Mason Ordish and is notable for its unique design that uses the Ordish–Lefeuvre system, a type of cable-stayed bridge.
The bridge has earned the affectionate nickname “The Trembling Lady” due to its tendency to sway, especially when crossed by troops marching in step. Despite several structural issues over the years, the bridge has been extensively repaired and is now a beloved landmark, recognized for its beauty and charm. It is particularly striking at night when it is lit up, offering a stunning view of the Thames and London’s skyline.
Although proposals to replace it have come and gone, Albert Bridge remains a practical yet picturesque piece of London’s history. It is restricted to lighter vehicles and is often admired for its architectural elegance
