About Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule (A bascule bridge is a type of bridge that lifts up like a seesaw to let boats go through) and suspension bridge in London. Designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry, it opened in 1894 to enhance access to London's East End. With its 800-foot length and 65-meter towers, it's a London landmark. Originally steam-powered, it now operates electrically but retains its historic mechanisms for display. Discover its history at the Tower Bridge Exhibition, which includes high-level walkways, Victorian engine rooms, and insights into its original steam-powered operation.
