Iconic drawbridge spanning River Thames

Sightseeing

Message from Kristoffer Føns

One of the most famous things to see in London - and to be fair, it is quite impressive...

Tower Bridge is a famous drawbridge in London that spans the River Thames. Completed in 1894, it features twin towers rising 61 meters above the river and glass-covered walkways for pedestrians. Originally operated by steam power, it now runs on electric motors but still maintains its steam system for show. While the bridge's leaves are rarely raised nowadays due to decreased shipping, it remains a popular tourist attraction and an iconic symbol of London's skyline.
