	Hungerford Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hungerford Bridge is a bridge (or triplet of bridges) over the River Thames in London, between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge.
		The south end of the bridge is near Waterloo station, County Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, and the London Eye.
		Further justification for new footbridge structures both upstream and downstream of the railway bridge was that the railway bridge's brittle wrought iron support pillars were vulnerable to impact from riverboats.

	Blackfriars Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The current bridge was completed in 1869 and consists of five wrought iron arches built to a design by Joseph Cubitt.
		Due to the volume of traffic over the bridge, it was widened between 1907–10, from 70 feet (21 m) to its present 105 feet (32 m).
		The bridge became internationally notorious in 1982, when the Italian banker Roberto Calvi was found hanged below one of its arches in what was originally believed to be a suicide, but is now officially regarded as a murder.
