Waterloo Bridge
Waterloo Bridge is a bridge crossing the River Thames in London. The first bridge on the site was opened in 1817 as a toll bridge. It was the subject of the Waterloo Bridge series of paintings by impressionist Claude Monet. In the 1840s, it gained a reputation as a place for suicide attempts. In the early 1940s, the degraded first bridge was replaced with a new structure.
