Tower Bridge, designed by architects Sir Horace Jones and Sir John Wolfe Barry, represents a stunning blend of innovative engineering and beautiful Neo-Gothic architecture.
Construction of Tower Bridge started on April 22, 1886, taking eight years, with over 11,000 tonnes of steel, culminating in its opening by the Prince of Wales in 1894.
The bridge's bascule design is key to its function, allowing sections to lift for river traffic, balancing the historical elements with modern engineering marvels.
Now operated by high-tech engines, visitors can still explore the original steam-powered engine rooms, illustrating the historical significance of Tower Bridge.
