Kingston Bridge carries a footpath over the River Thames (below Oxford) just past the junction with The Anderton Lift.
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Good but can be busy. There is a charge for overnight stays.
There is a bridge here which takes a major road over the canal.

![Cancelled 1GL bench mark and bolt on Kingston Bridge. This early bench mark has been cancelled by slightly extending the two legs of the arrowhead above the datum line. The bolt is the dark blob to the right of the line. A later bench mark has been cut about 20 metres further west - [[1775866]] by John S Turner – 19 March 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/77/57/1775766_d1671d8a_120x120.jpg)
