waterloo bridge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'across the thames' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'later playing in court game' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'game' becomes 'bridge' (card game).
'later' anagrammed gives 'aterl'.
'aterl' put within 'woo' is 'waterloo'.
'waterloo'+'bridge'='WATERLOO BRIDGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for waterloo bridge that I've seen is " classic British film".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
