Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is an iconic landmark and one of London’s most famous bridges. Located near the Tower of London on the River Thames, Tower Bridge was built in the late 19th century. It is a stunning bascule (drawbridge) and suspension bridge, notable for the two towers that resemble medieval fortifications. Tower Bridge actually comprises two towers connected by two walkways and the massive bascules, which can be raised to let larger ships pass underneath. Visitors can walk across the bridge, admire its Victorian Gothic style, and learn about its history in the Tower Bridge Exhibition. From there, fantastic views of the Thames and of London can be enjoyed.
