History of the attraction
Constructed between 1886 and 1894, Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge with two towers connected at the upper level by two walkways. Over 50 designs were submitted with the final decision drawing controversy as the design was by Sir Horace Jones who was also on the judging panel.
Opened in 1982, the Tower Bridge Exhibition has told the history of the bridge using a range of media including films and pictures as well as giving visitors access to the high walkways from which they can enjoy fantastic panoramas of the city of London.
Interesting Facts
There is a popular urban myth that an American entrepreneur mistakenly bought the old London Bridge and had it shipped to Arizona under the mistaken belief that it was Tower Bridge.
In 1952 a double decker bus was forced to jump a 3 foot gap as the bridge was raised due to a warning bell not being rung.
