Tower Bridge was completed in 1894 to create a new road crossing in eastern London without blocking access for tall ships using the busy Pool of London. Its two monumental towers contain the machinery and supporting structures for twin bascules that can be raised to allow vessels to pass, while high-level walkways connect the towers above the river. The bridge combines Victorian engineering with a Gothic-inspired architectural treatment designed to harmonize with the nearby Tower of London, producing one of the most recognizable landmarks in the British capital.
