Tower Bridge
A trip to London is not complete without seeing the bridge.
Tower Bridge must be my most favourite part of London, it is a beautiful looking bridge and not being bias (well just a bit) I believe it is the best in the world. And also I love the River Thames so put them both together and you get my most favourite spot in London. The bridge is is 380 feet long, 60 feet wide. Central drawbridge with two bascules of 1,100 tons each, originally raised by steam-driven hydraulic power, today by electricity. Two 300-foot steel towers clad in granite and Portland stone support the bascules as well as a 200-foot-high walkway which is cantilevered out from the towers. Suspension chains support the road spans from the riverbanks to the two towers. One thing you must do is go to the Tower Bridge experience, here you will see the full history, with some of the other designs for the bridge. Once at the top you will have the opportunity to take some beautiful pictures along the Thames. You could spend the whole day here, with a trip to the Tower of London as well.
