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

Dagenham. Somewhere along there, anyway. Bound to be.

Honestly, the lot of you can stop fussing over that piddling little stream
out west, the truth lies in the east - as i said, in mystical Dagenham:

There are also some structures on the south bank around Erith that might
count as bridges, although some would doubtless claim they were merely
flying promenades.

And, slightly less far east, at Limehouse Dock:

I think that patch of water might technically be the Thames, since it's
seaward of the last lock gate. But if that counts, there are loads of
bridges that do.

Ooh, that's good, definite bonus points. However, strictly a bridge is "a
structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle such as a
river or canal or railway etc" And that thing is not a bridge for getting
from Dagenham to Dagenham but two bridges linking Dagenham to the ship.

The bridge I have in mind was built in 2004. It is not over an inlet,
outlet, creek or dock, but is over the main flow of the Thames.

So it allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle, and it is over
the main flow of the Thames.
It clearly doesn't allow them to cross the Thames, since both its ends
are on the same side, so it must allow people or vehicles to cross
something else.

My guess is there is some section of the Thames Path which is
cantilevered over the river to get round something.

Goodness me, I wouldn't want to rely on the "road map" that's overlaid
on the image (especially to the right end of that bridge).

I've got a mate who swears by Google's road maps.

Mind you, he drives a bulldozer.
