Where is there a bridge over The Thames which has both ends on the

wild guess
Eel Pie Island? Is the end of the bridge on the island counted as

on the same bank as the end of bridge on the shore?
There are probably lots of them, depending on what definition of "same
side" and "Thames" you choose.
Thus the two road bridges over the Desborough channel (between Walton
and Weybridge), which is the main navigation channel of the Thames,
each have both ends in Elmbridge, Surrey.
The bridge to Eel Pie Island has both ends in Middlesex and crosses a
channel of the Thames (but not the main navigation channel).
Walton Bridge or at least the bit that crosses water, has both ends in
Spelthorne, formerly Middlesex (now administratively Surrey).
Blackfriars Bridge has both ends within the boundaries of the City of
London.
