The construction of the Tower Bridge started on June 21, 1886 and it was completed in 1894. There are two towers that make up the bridge, the North Tower where visitors can view footage of the workers constructing the bridge, take a look at the designers, technicians and those involved in making sure the project was started and completed.
There are walkways with glass floors so that the visitors a unique birds-eye, panoramic view of Londen and the river that is almost 138 feet below them. There is a lift-bridge that accommodate several vessels seven days a week and each lift can be seen from above through the glass floors.
Inside the South Tower there is information about the people who actually worked the build the bridge, their stories, uniforms worn by the workers during the construction and amazingly, some of the actual tools used to build the Tower Bridge. To help visitors remember their trip to the Tower Bridge, there is a gift shop filled with gifts for young and old shoppers. A blue line is right outside the South Tower that has the names and jobs of men and women who worked to make the dream a reality.
