Barnes Bridge has not been used for more than 125 years - but could soon be London's prettiest walkway.
An unused Grade II-listed bridge across the River Thames could be transformed into a "garden space" walkway covered in plants.
Plans have begun to reopen Barnes Bridge in west London, which has not been used for more than 125 years. The project team are working to reach formal agreement with Network Rail as well as Richmond and Hounslow councils. An newly launched website says the aim is to create a "new art and garden space" to connect Chiswick and Barnes.The bridge was initially opened to rail traffic in 1849 but has not been used since 1895 after a wider crossing, the New Barnes Bridge, was built.The project's website claims the bridge will provide an “unbeatable viewing position” for the boat race after the project, overseen by then Mayor of London Boris Johnson, lost support of later mayor Sadiq Khan in 2017.
