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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
