Frequently mistaken, name-wise, for the London Bridge (now in Lake Havasu, Arizona), London's Tower Bridge is one of the most famous and iconic bridges in the world.
Formally opened in 1894, Tower Bridge, named for its location near the Tower of London - itself an important and iconic building - spanned the Thames River while providing for passage for tall-masted sailing ships to pass unobstructed to London ports upstream of the bridge.
