Introduction

Tower Bridge is one of the iconic buildings in London, named after its location near the Tower of London. It is a bascule bridge spanning the River Thames, built in 1894 and opened to traffic in the same year. In the past, Tower Bridge's lifting mechanism used a steam hydraulic system, but now it has been converted to electric, although its ancient mechanical structure is still preserved for visitors to see. If there is an opportunity, you can see the Tower Bridge open to let tall ships pass through.
