The Diamond Jubilee Footbridge is a planned pedestrian bridge over the River Thames in London, England. Designed by one-world design architects in conjunction with Expedition Engineering and Beckett Rankin. The bridge is intended to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II, marking the location where she boarded her launch for the start of the Diamond Jubilee river pageant.[1]

It achieved planning permission from the London Borough of Wandsworth in June 2013, [2] and from Hammersmith and Fulham in November 2013.[3][4]
