The Bridge House Estates is a charitable trust, originating in the late eleventh century and formally established by royal charter in 1282 by the City of London Corporation in London, England. It was originally established to maintain London Bridge and, subsequently, other bridges. Funded by bridge tolls and charitable donations, the trust acquired an extensive property portfolio which made it more than self-sufficient. As well as maintaining the bridges, the estates also makes other charitable grants through the City Bridge Trust, their grant-making arm.

| - Als Bridge House Estates wird eine seit 1282 bestehende Stiftung bezeichnet, deren Aufgabe es zunächst war, die alte London Bridge zu erhalten, zu verwalten und im Bedarfsfall neu zu errichten. Im Laufe der Zeit wuchsen ihr aber auch andere Verwaltungs- und wohltätige Aufgaben zu. So baute die Körperschaft Blackfriars Bridge und Tower Bridge und erwarb Southwark Bridge. Auch die neue Fußgängerbrücke Millennium Bridge gehört zu den verwalteten Brückenobjekten. Der Name der Institution stammt vom Bridge House, dem Verwaltungs- und Wartungszentrum am Südufer der Themse. Sie wird treuhändig von der Stadtverwaltung geführt. Ursprünglich wurde die Stiftung durch Brückenzölle und Vermächtnisse finanziert, erwarb aber im Laufe der Zeit umfang- und ertragreichen Immobilienbesitz, der sie unabhängig machte. Ihr gegenwärtiges Vermögen wird auf über 200 Millionen Pfund geschätzt. Über den 1995 gegründeten City Bridge Trust werden heute verschiedene Förderungen ausgeschüttet.

It is one of three funds managed by the City of London, the other two being the City Fund and the City's Cash. Since it was established, the trust has maintained, and on several occasions replaced, London Bridge. The trust also built Blackfriars Bridge and Tower Bridge, and purchased Southwark Bridge from the toll-exacting private company that built it. Most recently it took over ownership and maintenance of the pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge, having provided a large amount of the funding for its construction. The estate owns significant amounts of property in the City of London, including the Old Bailey. Until 1995, the trust was permitted to use its income only for expenditure on its bridges. However, with a surplus of income over expenditure, a cy-près scheme was adopted in that year to allow any surplus income to be used for other charitable purposes benefiting Greater London. These grants are made through the City Bridge Trust.
