Waterloo Bridge carries a footpath over the River Thames (tidal section).
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Waterloo Bridge
Waterloo Bridge () is a road and foot traffic bridge crossing the River Thames in London, between Blackfriars Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. Its name commemorates the victory of the British, Dutch and Prussians at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Thanks to its location at a strategic bend in the river, the views from the bridge (of Westminster, the South Bank and the London Eye to the west, and of the City of London and Canary Wharf to the east) are widely held to be the finest from any spot in London at ground level.
