The Tower Bridge in London, England is well-known like there’s no trip to London if you don’t see the London Tower Bridge. The Tower Bridge is one of the most fascinating attractions in London. It was because of its history where the Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames and has become an iconic symbol of London. When you have time to trip to London, you will discover that Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. You’ll also be surprised about how much happens around Tower Bridge when you have a trip to London, from theatre shows to Jazz bands, food festivals to market stalls. There is always something exciting to capture the imagination.
Tower Bridge, which designed by a city architect namely Sir Horace Jones in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, completed in 1894. This bridge has 265 meter long. Five contractors and nearly 450 workers were involved in the construction the bridge. It took 11.000 tons of steel to build the framework. At the time, many people disliked its Victorian Gothic design. But over time, the bridge became one of London’s most famous symbols. However, the plans for the Tower Bridge were devised around 1876 when the east of London became extremely crowded and a bridge across the Thames in that area of the city seemed a necessity.
From the Tower Bridge, as one of the attractions in London, you could enjoy the stunning views of London from the high level walkways and continue your journey to the Victorian Engine Rooms to learn about the inner workings of the Most Famous Bridge in the World. After watching a new animated video about why Tower Bridge was built, you can walk into the high level walkways, 42 meters above the River Thames. Where you have chance to admire stunning panoramic views of London, popular landmarks as St Paul’s Cathedral and the Monument to the west and St Katharine’s Dock leading to Canary Wharf to the east.
The East Walkway houses the exhibition “Great Bridges of the World” – this photographic exhibition features over 20 bridges, each of which represents a breathtaking feat of engineering. In the south tower, a short video shows the construction of the bridge, before guests proceed to the West Walkway where they can view the Cities of the Modern Games Exhibition. This amazing and beautiful photographic exhibition showcases the 116 years’ host cities and also lists key facts, medals won and outstanding athletic achievements.
Continue on to the original lifting machinery in the Victorian Engine Rooms, complete with sounds and smells that transport you back in time to the Bridge’s origins.
