Standing wave under one of the Thames bridges?

[Nigel-in-Oxford]

A good few years ago I took a rib down the Thames to the QE2 bridge.
Under one of the bridges, may have been Southwark bridge was a very steep standing wave on the ebb tide.:ambivalence: I have never come across it since, but I plan a trip (on the ebb tide) in September and would rather avoid it this time.
Has anyone come across this, and if so which bridge and arch is it?
Thanks.

Yes could have been London bridge, looks like I will be going at just the wrong time as well. I'll try a bit to the side to reduce my risk.
Thanks.

I was told that the remains of the old London Bridge foundations are just downstream of the existing bridge and in low tide conditions can cause a standing wave. It all adds to the fun...
