Waterloo Bridge is a bridge over the River Thames in London, England, situated between Blackfriars Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. It was named after the Battle of Waterloo, a British victory in 1815. The bridge was first built in 1817 as a nine-arch stone structure. In the 1940s, it underwent reconstruction. The new Waterloo Bridge is made of reinforced concrete and, from a distance, features a simple yet elegant design. The bridge is nearly 400 meters long and about 25 meters wide. Its five arches resemble a string of rainbows spanning both banks of the Thames. Due to its central location in London's bustling urban area and the nearly 90-degree bend of the Thames at this point, the bridge offers one of the best vantage points to admire the picturesque scenery on both sides. In 1981, Waterloo Bridge was listed as a Grade II listed building for protection.
