Description

Tower Bridge Tower Bridge was built over 120 years ago to ease the pressure of increasing numbers crossing the Thames whilst also maintaining river access to the busy Pool of London docks. Built with giant moveable roadways - or bascules - that lift up for passing ships, it is considered an engineering marvel. Beyond being one of London's favourite icons, it is arguably one of the most famous and instantly recognisable structures in the world.

The Working Bridge Under the Corporation of London (Tower Bridge) Act 1885, the City of London Corporation is required to raise the Bridge to provide access to and egress from the Upper Pool of London for registered vessels with a mast or superstructure of 30 feet or more. The service is provided free of charge subject to 24 hours' notice and is available any time, day or night, 365 days per year. The Bridge is raised around 850 times each year.
