Where is there a bridge over The Thames which has both ends on the
same side of The Thames?

Is it the Canary Wharf to West India Quay pedestrian bridge ?

No. It's not Lulu either.

I have not walked along there for some time but I think that there is,
or was a similar bridge over the Thames for pedestrians walking the
towpath at Richmond, either under the rail or road bridge.

wild guess

Eel Pie Island? Is the end of the bridge on the island counted as
being on the same bank as the end of bridge on the shore?

I wondered about that, but it seemed more likely to be a bridge over a
creek flowing into the Thames, which might, technically cross a sliver
of the Thames, with both ends being indubitably on the same side of the
Thames. This one at Lots Road may not be it, but there might be others
that do pass the test: www.londoncanals.co.uk/kenc/ken01.html

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.

I think not. I made a special effort to word the question so that the Eel
Pie Island bridge wouldn't qualify... maybe I failed...

Well, if it wasn't for the fact that this is a London group, I'd guess
it was in the villages out west where some new village bypass goes
from one side of a meander to the other, but I don't know where.

Or it's a trick question. Maybe there's a pub called The Thames under
a bridge somewhere (that doesn't span the River Thames)?

The wrong answers are so much better than the right one.
