Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is London’s most recognizable bascule-and-suspension bridge, spanning the Thames beside the Tower of London. Completed in 1894, it combines Victorian engineering with distinctive twin towers and glass-floored walkways. Visitors can watch the roadway lift for passing ships, explore the Engine Rooms, and enjoy panoramic river views. It’s a practical crossing and a compact history lesson in one stop, especially appealing to architecture and engineering enthusiasts.
