Lake and Crossing

This is a deceptively simple and strikingly beautiful structure, as attractive in its way as the lake that it crosses. It is a flat bridge, the enclosing sides being simple uprights spaced closely together and connected only at the base. The result is a visually very light appearance, and one that changes depending on the angle at which it is viewed. Of course there are a great many other things to see in the gardens, but really this is worth a little of your time.

What a stunning bridge/walkway, the metal slats allow you to see through to the water and after admiring them at first you hardly notice they are there and then you seem them again like wave making its way across the pond. Brilliant and effective idea.

Great bridge for watching all the birds swimming at kew gardens

A beautiful work of art in the beautiful gardens at Kew. The lake and the trees and it are lovely too.

A well built wide bridge, it's perfectly flat so overall is fantastic for accessibility - can easily fit multiple passing groups, wheelchairs, and pushchairs. Location is amazing can see the wildlife of the lake without disturbing them, and also has nice views of the trees and other foliage. Bridge is easy to access and isn't just a plain style either, it has it's own character from other bridges.

Curved, not crooked! The Sackler Crossing is designed by Buro Happold and John Pawson and opened in May 2006. The bridge, the first since the creation of the lake in 1856, is named after philanthropists Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler. The minimalist-styled bridge is designed as a sweeping double curve of black granite with bronze posts at the sides. So curve your way across the lake and admire the views.

Quite a cool design bridge and there are lots of giant koi fish in the water!

lovely bridge sure it looks magnificent in the night with the lights. im wondering if the artwork on the bridge is supposed to look like dominoes(not the pizza)the game or if its just a coincedence
