Kew Railway Bridge is a latticed wrought iron girder bridge on pairs of cast iron piers; it has five spans each of 35 metres. It was designed by W. R. Galbraith. It was built by Brassey & Ogilvie for the London and South Western Railway. It opened to rail traffic in 1869, and is Grade II listed. It is used both by the London Overground North London Line and by the London Underground District Line.
