Can someone tell me if this is Waterloo Bridge in this picture?

I want to get this picture for my boyfriend for his birthday because he wants to live in London someday and he loves the song Waterloo Sunset but I'm not sure if this is the right bridge?

It doesn't say that it's London Bridge, it says that the picture was taken from London Bridge looking out onto the river... so that bridge would be a different one, I'm just not sure if it's waterloo.

It's actually Blackfriars Bridge. You can tell by the Oxo Tower on the right of the picture.

See pictures below.

Here is a picture taken from Waterloo Bridge that is very similar to yours:

It is an image of Blackfriars Bridge, most probably taken from Waterloo bridge. Do a search on live.com and switch to bird's eye view.

Hmm if that picture was taken from London bridge -- St.Paul's would be on the right hand side of the picture not the left, so I go with the person who said it is Blackfriars taken from Waterloo - see how close St. Paul's is and it's on the left side so the view is looking east.

This is a picture of Blackfriars Bridge taken from Waterloo Bridge. The giveaway are St Pauls cathedral on the left and OXO wharf in Bargehouse Street on the right.

It is Blackfriars Bridge. If you zoom in on your picture you will clearly see the paintwork pattern which matches the image of Blackfriars Bridge given above

Waterloo Bridge is concrete and not painted as this image shows:

Nice birthday present idea though! Hope you find one!

It is Blackfriars Bridge, taken from Waterloo Bridge.

If you go to http://www.lonwalk.ndirect.co.uk/bridsum.htm and scroll down to Blackfriars Bridge you will see that it is a red and white painted bridge, with five arches.

The picture is taken looking eastwards, with the City of London on the left and Southwark on the right. So you would need to be looking in the opposite direction to see the sunset! Waterloo is really behind and to the right of the position of this photo.

Phew This City is expensive sierra can you both afford it ?
I have been on a few river cruises and your picture is flawed
it says london bridge on your page there fore it is not Waterloo Bridge its either Blackfriars Bridge or London Bridge, and besides Waterloo bridge is hardly representative of our City i would suggest Tower Bridge, nelsons Column and Houses of Parliament/Big Ben now these are pictures of London.
