Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is an iconic bridge in London, opened in 1894, connecting the districts of Tower Hill and Southwark. It features two tall towers connected by walkways and a central section that can lift to allow ships to pass underneath. The bridge combines elements of a bascule (moveable) bridge and a suspension bridge, making it both functional and visually striking. Its design reflects Victorian engineering, and it has become a symbol of London’s history and innovation. Today, it also functions as a tourist attraction with exhibitions about its history and construction.
