Westminster Bridge Road

Westminster Bridge Road is a short, busy road in London, England.

It runs on an east–west axis and passes through the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark.

Between 1740 and 1746, the Commissioners of Westminster Bridge bought land from the Archbishop of Canterbury and ground in Lambeth Marsh from the Lord Mayor and Commonalty of the City of London for the approach to the bridge on the southern (then-Surrey) side. This was the start of Westminster Bridge Road.

From the western end, the road starts as the A23 on the east side of the County Hall roundabout, where the A302 Westminster Bridge, York Road and the A3036 Lambeth Palace Road intersect.

It then passes under the on viaduct railways south of Waterloo station and crosses Lower Marsh before reaching the junction at Lambeth North tube station (named Westminster Bridge Road station July 1906 — April 1917. There Baylis Road, Hercules Road and the A23 branch off, the latter southward as Kennington Road.

The road continues as the A3202 and turns to east-northeast as it enters the St George's one-way system (traffic flows eastbound only) and ends at St George's Circus, where Waterloo Road, Blackfriars Road, Borough Road, London Road and Lambeth Road meet.
