Description: Tower Bridge, London, UK captured at night to enhance its mystical charms and appeal.
Taking a total of 8 years to build in the late 19th century and at the time was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed. The design incorporated 2 high level walkways so that the public could still cross the bridge when the road level was opened but these were closed in 1910 due to lack of use and these were re-opened in 1982 as part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Originally painted in a chocolate brown colour, the bridge was repainted in it's now iconic colours of red, white and blue to celebrate the Queens Jubilee in 1977.
