The engineer Thomas Page built the current Westminster Bridge, made up of seven cast-iron Arches, 353 m long, from 1856 to 1862. The previous bridge, built between 1736 and 1750 was for more than half a century the only other Bridge in London apart from London Bridge. Westminster Bridge has an attractive view over Westminster Palace. On the right bank you'll find another view no less celebrated which Claude Monet depicted through the mist in a famous painting.
