Located close to the Tower of London (which gave its name), the Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge spanning the Thames. Over the years, the Tower Bridge has become an iconic symbol of London.
The construction started in 1886 and took 8 years. Between the two towers, the bascule bridge has a total span of 61 m (200 ft) while the two side-spans are suspension bridges, each spanning 82 m (270 ft). The high-level walkway between the two towers is currently part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Did you know? Often times it’s wrongly called “London Bridge” which is actually the next bridge upstream.
