Grosvenor Bridge (Victoria Railway Bridge), is a railway bridge over the River Thames, between Vauxhall Bridge and Chelsea Bridge. Originally constructed in 1860, and widened in 1865 and 1907, the bridge was extensively rebuilt and widened again in the 1960s. The engineer was Sir John Fowler.
The River Thames rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire ST9899 on the slopes of the Cotswolds and flows generally eastward to its mouth near Southend in Essex. At 215 miles long it is the second longest river in Britain after the Severn, and the longest entirely within England. Link
