A pair of cable stay bridges were completed in 2002 and were named the Golden Jubilee Bridges, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession, although officially they are the "Hungerford Footbridges."

They are also known as the Hungerford footbridges because they have been built on each side of the Hungerford Railway Bridge that takes trains coming from south London into Charing Cross Station.

The footbridges were the result of a competition in 1996 to replace an aging footbridge. Potential designers had to take into account the fact the railway bridge had to be kept in use during construction and that the Bakerloo Underground Line was directly under where the bridges were to be erected.

Each footbridge is 320 metres long and over 4 metres wide.
