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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
