Tower Bridge: A Wonderful Blend of Views and History

Tower Bridge is one of London’s most famous landmarks, standing tall over the River Thames. Known for its stunning architecture and rich history, the iconic bridge is the brainchild of Sir Horace Jones (the chief architect) and Sir John Wolfe Barry (the chief engineer). Sir William Armstrong’s innovative idea of operating the bascule bridge via steam-powered engines was a masterstroke for this illustrious landmark.
