This looks like a standard Southern Region footbridge if that helps anyone.

Should you wish to build one [and why wouldn't you?], dimensioned drawings and photographs may be found on pages 225 et seq of "Southern Nouveau" published 2017 by Irwell Press, ISBN 978-1-911262-02-2

Some good information from revupminster and arun but we still don’t have the location of this footbridge.

Is it significant that the rails visible under the bridge appear not to have been getting much use? - going by the amount of rust on the tops.

I don't know of any reason why the rails there would not be betting much use.

Hmm - It obviously an old Southern Railway route judging by the footbridge and the third rail. Presumably it wouldn't be a quiz question unless it had a LU, LO or DLR connection. In view of the third rail we can probably exclude DLR except perhaps for a bit around Lewisham. The only places that spring to mind on ex-SR lines where there might also be a Underground connection would be somewhere on the Wimbledon or Richmond branches. If we're supposed to be looking for SR lines that have been taken over by LO, then the obvious one would be the long circular route fro Victoria to London Bridge i.e., the old South London line. One final possibility I suppose would be a short stretch of LO line approaching New Cross/New Cross Gate looking towards SR lines to/fro Croydon. However, I haven't got any further than that yet.
However, it does look like quite a long footbridge ? spanning four tracks so somewhere on the Wimbledon Branch would be my guess.

The bridge appears to be longer than necessary to span only two tracks, so I think it's on the Overground somewhere between New Cross Gate and Norwood Junction

This is a London Underground location.

Looks like it’s near to Kew Gardens.

Good enough for me. Between Kew Gardens and Richmond - footbridge linking Sheendale Road and St Mary's Grove (click image for a larger version)

I do confess that it was an educated guess!
