Tower of London Bridge

The Tower of London Bridge is just in front of the Tower of London museum. This bridge opens up from between when a high steamer or cruise boat passes below it. I was privileged to see the London Bridge opening in my second trip to the same attraction. The architechture of the Tower of London Bridge appealed me more then London Bridge. The nursery ryhme, 'London Bridge is falling down' has made London Bridge much more popular then the Tower of London Bridge for common man around the world.
