It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower.

Tower bridge a fost construit în anul 1894 iar pentru ridicarea celor două jumătăţi se foloseau pompe cu aburi
Când podul era ridicat pietonii erau obligaţi să urce cele 300 de trepte ale turnurilor pentru a ajunge la pasarela de la înălţimea de 40 de metri
Tower Bridge (built 1886-1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London.
The Tower of London
Tower of London şi City of London, cartierul financiar
The City of London is a small area within Greater London, England. It is the historic core of London around which the modern conurbation grew and has held city status since time immemorial. The City’s boundaries have remained almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, and it is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. It is often referred to as the City (often written on maps as "City") or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile (1.12 sq mi/2.90 km2) in area. These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which continues a notable history of being based in the City.In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to Greater London, a local government area which includes 32 London boroughs including the City of Westminster as well as the City of London.
The Tower bridge a fost terminat în anul 1894 şi până în 1976 când a fost electrificat, a funcţionat cu aburi
