El pont de Waterloo és un dels ponts de Londres que creua el riu Tàmesi, localitzat entre els ponts de Blackfriars i de Hungerford . El seu nom commemora la victòria de les tropes angleses, holandeses i prussians a la batalla de Waterloo, a 1815. Gràcies a la seva ubicació estratègica en un revolt del riu, les vistes des del pont són molt destacades, cap a l'oest es pot contemplar Westminster, South Bank i el London Eye i cap a aquest la City de Londres i Canary Wharf .

El primer pont que es va construir en aquest emplaçament va ser dissenyat entre 1809 i 1810 per John Rennie per a La Strand Bridge Company i es va inaugurar en 1817 com a pont de peatge. El pont de granit tenia nou arcs, cadascun de 36,6 metres d'envergadura, separades per columnes dòriques dobles de pedra i tenia una longitud de 748,6 m . Abans de la seva inauguració era conegut com el pont de Strand.
