Wandsworth Bridge is a bridge over the River Thames in south-west London. It carries the A217 road between the areas of Wandsworth and the areas of Sands End and Parsons Green on the north side via Wandsworth Bridge Road. Although Wandsworth Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in London, carrying over 50, 000 vehicles daily, it has been described as "probably the least noteworthy bridge in London". An unadorned steel cantilever bridge it was designed by Sir Pierson Frank, and opened in 1940. At the time of its opening it was painted in dull shades of blue and grey as camouflage against air raids, a colour scheme it still retains.
