Since 1970, Westminster and Lambeth bridges have celebrated Britain’s two-chamber political system in the colours of their paintwork, reflecting their respective proximities to the upper and lower houses of Parliament.
The Illuminated River artwork will refine and enhance this theme. The latticework undercrofts of Westminster Bridge will be illuminated in soft green tones referencing the benches of the debating chamber of the House of Commons, whilst the red glow to adorn Lambeth Bridge is a nod to the benches of the House of Lords’ chamber, and mirrors the red accents of the bridge’s railings and arches.
Westminster and Lambeth are part of five bridges being illuminated in March, joined by Blackfriars Road, Waterloo and Golden Jubilee. The first four Illuminated River bridges – London, Cannon Street, Southwark and Millennium – made their debut in 2019.
