Tower Bridge is one of London's most recognizable landmarks, spanning the River Thames near the Tower of London. Completed in 1894, this iconic bascule and suspension bridge combines Victorian Gothic architecture with advanced engineering of its time. Tower Bridge features two towers connected by high-level walkways, offering stunning views of the city. The bridge's bascules, or movable roadways, can be raised to allow ships to pass beneath, a spectacle often admired by visitors. Inside, the Tower Bridge Exhibition provides insights into the bridge's history and operation. Tower Bridge remains a symbol of London's architectural innovation and historic charm.
