London's iconic Victorian bridge, with a glass-floor walkway high above the river.
Address: Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 2UP
Tower Bridge opened in 1894 to give road access across the Thames while letting tall ships reach the Pool of London. Its two bascules still rise for river traffic several times a week.
Inside the towers, an exhibition explains its design. The high-level walkways have glass floors, so you can look straight down at the traffic and boats below.
