Tower Bridge

  • London, United Kingdom (UK)

Last updated: 28 April, 2024

This suspension bridge, built in 1894 across the River Thames, is one of London, if not the world’s, most famous landmarks and an architectural marvel.

This unique bridge consists of two towers connected by walkways. Cars and pedestrians cross on the lower road level, which famously opens up from the centre to allow ships to pass under. Visitors can cross a glass floored walkway at the upper levels, with views down the Thames and across over the Tower of London.
