Blackfriars Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in London. It carries the A201 road across the river. The bridge is between the Waterloo Bridge to the east and Blackfriars Railway Bridge to the west.
The Blackfriars Bridge was designed by architect Robert Mylne in the Italianate style. It is 303 m (905 ft) long and comprises nine arches of Portland stone. The bridge was completed in 1769. At the time of its completion, it was the third bridge in the area. It supplemented the much older London Bridge and the Westminster Bridge.
