Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry in 1886. It stands as an iconic landmark in London, with its two 213-foot (65 m) towers connected to each other by two horizontal walkways, and a central pair of bascules that open to let river traffic pass through. The bridge opened in 1894 by Edward, Prince of Wales and Alexandra, Princess of Wales, and today remains an important traffic route for 40,000 crossings every day. The bridge deck consists of both vehicles and pedestrians while the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways, and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition. It can be seen as one of the most unique bridges in the world with its Historical and Gothic design, making it a must-see site for tourists and locals alike!
