Walking the Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is one of the most famous symbols of London, and also one of the world’s most recognizable structures. Completed 1894, its more than a hundred years old. Built [1886–1894] across River Thames, it is a combined bascule and suspension bridge. The bridge consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways. The Tower Bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream.

I had taken the hop-on hop-off bus tour “The Original Tour – London Sightseeing”. The tour guide encouraged us to get down from the bus and walk Tower Bridge on foot, and I did so. It was a brilliant idea as I saw the beautiful City Hall up-close and also saw the fabulous sculptural exhibit in the City Hall Plaza.. “Chubby Charms on the Riverside” by Chinese sculptor Xu Hongfei’ .. click here..
