Essingen Islands

The Essingen Islands (Swedish: Essingeöarna) are a group of two islands—Stora Essingen and Lilla Essingen—in the Swedish lake of Mälaren, located southwest of Kungsholmen in Stockholm.

Both Essingen islands are mainly residential areas, the smaller densely packed with apartment buildings while the larger is scattered with private houses and, to a lesser extent, apartment buildings.

In 1966, the Essingeleden motorway opened across the islands.

The Alviksbron bridge (for pedestrians, bicycles, and trams) opened in 2000.
