    Overview

    Lilla Essingen is a small island in central Stockholm, Sweden. It is on Lake Mälaren next to the larger neighbouring island of Stora Essingen. Both Essingen Islands (Essingeöarna) 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. The Essingeleden motorway, part of the European routes E4 and E20, passing over both islands is named after them. Bus route 1 (Stora Essingen - Frihamnen) stops at two places on Lilla Essingen, providing transport to central parts of town and connections to the underground network. Bus route 56 stops at four places, connecting the Essinge islands with Fridhemsplan and Hornsberg. Bridges of Lilla Essingen:

    From Kungsholmen: Mariebergsbron Fredhällsbron (part of the Essingeleden motorway.) From Stora Essingen Essingebron (two bridges, one part of Essingeleden.)
