Tower Bridge, Bascule and suspension bridge in London.
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894.
The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become a world-famous symbol of London.
As a result, it is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about half a mile upstream.
The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians, while the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
The bridge is 800 feet (240 m) in length with two towers each 213 feet (65 m) high, built on piers.
