It was the first railway bridge across the Thames in central London. The bridges were rebuilt in steel in 1963-67. Areas within the vicinity of its north bank include Pimlico to its north, Chelsea to the west, Lister Hospital and Royal Chelsea Hospital to the northwest. On the south bank, Nine Elms is to its east, and Battersea to the west. Battersea Power Station is to the south of the bridge while Battersea Park to the southwest.
