Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge, London

The Tower Bridge in central London across the Thames, is one of the finest examples of type of bascule bridge. It is also the most distinct from central London and bridges. This magnificent bridge, which was built way back in 1894 primarily to the fact that other bridges across London Thames were increasingly overloaded with traffic booming.

The Tower Bridge is an engineering marvel, considering that this is not such an easy task to build a bridge across a river whose banks are low. You must be careful enough to ensure trouble-free movement of vessels without any obstruction and this is the main reason why the Tower Bridge was built rocking in the model.


The width of the Thames is 880 feet form from north to south, the bridge required 235 cubic feet of Cornish granite and Portland stone, 20.00 tons of cement, 70000 cubic meters of concrete, 31000.00 bricks and 14000 tons of iron and steel, which is huge by any proportion.

Most people mistake the bridge to be a stone bridge, which is not true. Perhaps because of the work of exquisite masonry that is visible. The Tower Bridge is a steel bridge, but was camouflaged with masonry work extremely thin so that the bridge blends perfectly with its environment rather than being a distraction.

The historic bridge has exclusive entertainment envelope, which is very popular for special events and cocktails. The exceptional setting of the Tower Bridge can be a wonderful place for weddings and celebrations. The exclusive Bridge Master's Dining Room is fully equipped with well-furnished rooms and decor for a moment can accommodate 40 people, which is much preferred by Londoners and visitors, even as regards the celebrations.
