Tower Bridge
The twin spires of the iconic drawbridge stand 213 feet (65m)
above the Thames River, and form one of the most popular
attractions in London. Often mistakenly referred to as the London
Bridge (which is a bit further upstream), the Tower Bridge
functions as both a roadway and tourist attraction, and provides a
magnificent view of London from the upper walkway. Inside is the
Tower Bridge Exhibition, which showcases the Victorian engine that
powers the drawbridge, and the history of the bridge, which goes
back to 1886.
