This is one of the most famous river crossings on the Cam and links the two sides of St. John’s College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. The bridge is named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, and although the bridges have very little in common apart from they are both covered, it is one of the most popular attractions in the city of Cambridge. The bridge was Queen Victoria’s favourite place in Cambridge and she loved to stand upon it and watch the boats go underneath.
