A night with Icons (Explore!!!)(Tower Bridge, London, United Kingdom)
United Kingdom, London, Tower Bridge, Winter 2024
The Tower Bridge, a symbol of London, was built in Gothic Victorian style in 1886 on a project of Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones and was completed in 1894. Tower Bridge is composed of two moving parts. During the passage of large ships, in less than a minute, these parts are raised completely with an electronic system that in 1976 replaced the old hydraulic system. Once the moving parts were opened up to 5 times a day, but today is hardly opened because the ships dock is in a completely different area, further downstream Two famous towers, 25 m tall, stand on the Tower Bridge. These towers characterize the bridge in photos and postcards and inside host some exhibits and a museum: The Tower Bridge Exhibition.
