Kew Bridge crosses the River Thames between Kew Green in Kew on the south bank and Strandon-the-Green in Chiswick on the north bank. It is immediately adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens on the Kew side of the river and the former Grand Junction Waterworks Company buildings, now Kew Bridge Steam Museum on the north. (That's the Tower as viewed from our flat.)
The bridge forms the connection between the South Circular and North Circular roads to the west of London, and is nearly always very congested.

I took this photo some weeks back on a not quite sunny day. Note the shrapnel damage from a bomb apparently dropped during World War 1.
This pic looks to the North shore with Brentford on the left and Chiswick on the right.
As the road the bridge carries is more often than not very busy with traffic it is safest to join the Thames path and go under the bridge and use the tunnel.
