This is both a road and foot traffic bridge between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge.
The north end is near the Inns of Court, and Temple Church. The south end is near the Tate Modern art gallery and the Oxo Tower.
The first fixed crossing at Blackfriars was opened to the public in 1769. It was originally named William Pitt Bridge (after the Prime Minister William Pitt) but was soon renamed after Blackfriars Monastery which once stood nearby.
The current bridge was completed in 1869.
On the piers of the bridge are stone carvings of water birds, marine life and seabirds.
Directions: near the Inns of Court and Tate Modern
