Another day another bridge… The Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest and most recognisable bridges in the World. This iconic bascule bridge was designed by Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones. The bridge is 60 meters long and its towers rise to a height of 43 meters and has 31million bricks.

Although I have lived in Australia since 1967 (I still call London ‘Home’)
and loved the above photos of my favourtite place, I lived my childhood in Westminster and still say that there is no place on earth that can be compared to it, the history and buildings are second to none, thank you for the super photos.
