About Battersea Bridge

Battersea Bridge is a landmark. Location: Wandsworth, Greater London.

From Wikipedia

Battersea Bridge is a five-span arch bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England. It is situated on a sharp bend in the river, and links Battersea south of the river with Chelsea to the north. The bridge replaced a ferry service that had operated near the site since at least the middle of the 16th century. The first Battersea Bridge was a toll bridge commissioned by John, Earl Spencer, who had recently acquired the rights to operate the ferry.
