About Is there a sculpture of St. Paul's on a bridge in central London

Is there a sculpture of St. Paul's on a bridge in central London?
I'm fairly sure I saw a travel show about London a few years ago where two people met on a bridge in central London, and they pointed out that there was a sculpture of St. Paul's cathedral on the side of the bridge, on the outside of the barrier. It was a bridge with pavements and a road on it, like Southwark bridge or London bridge. Does / did this sculpture on this bridge exist? If so, which bridge is / was it? I know what St. Paul's cathedral is as a building, but if I remember the show correctly, there was some kind of sculpture of the cathedral on the bridge, on the exterior of the barrier, level with where the pavement is. As I said, this was a few years ago, so it might not be there any more, or I might have just imagined it. I just wanted to throw the idea into the Yahoo Answers ether and see if it struck a chord with anyone. I think Spellbound's got the right answer with this one. Although I go to London fairly regularly, I don't think I've ever been quite that far inland along the river, and had assumed it would be nearer the cathedral itself, like Blackfriars or Southwark bridges. (The Millennium bridge is obviously the nearest, but there's no way the sculpture would have been on there - too modern, too streamlined, no road access)
