Waterloo Bridge and the Lambeth Waterfront from Westminster Stairs is an 1821 landscape painting by the British artist Charles Deane.[1][2] It depicts a view on the River Thames looking eastwards from Westminster towards Waterloo Bridge. Somerset House can be seen beyond the bridge while on the South Bank are industrial buildings in what was then Lambeth but is now known as Waterloo. The towers of various London churches are visible in the distance. Waterloo Bridge was opened in 1817 and named after the Battle of Waterloo that ended the Napoleonic Wars.[3]
The painting is now in the collection of the Museum of London and on display at the London Museum Docklands near Canary Wharf.[4][5]
