This bridge is located near the Tower of London, so the bridge is named the "Tower Bridge". The bridge was completed in 1894. This bridge has a 800 feet (244 m) in length with two towers each 213 feet (65 m) high, built on the pier. Pedestrian sidewalk is 143 feet (44 m) above the river at high tide.
Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly called London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream. The specialty of this bridge is located in the center of the bridge could be opened up so that large ships can pass a river Thames.
