Did you know Tower Bridge is not London Bridge?
🐾
Tower Bridge in London 🇬🇧 might be the city's most famous bridge thanks to its Neo-Gothic architecture and lifting central sections. When it opened in 1894, it was the most sophisticated bascule bridge in the world. It was designed by architect Sir Horace Jones and civil engineer Sir John Wolfe Barry,
🐾
It is sometimes confused with the old London Bridge, about half a mile upstream. A popular urban legend says that in 1968, Robert P. McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge that was later shipped to Lake Havasu City in Arizona, believed that he was in fact buying Tower Bridge
🐾
But Tower Bridge is not just a pretty face, it's used by over 40,000 people (and a few bears) every day to cross the Thames River
