Tower Bridge

Today we went to London by train. We walked from St Pancras station to Tower Bridge, via Costa.

Cam was tired, it's hard getting up in the

morning when you've got out of the habit. So he ordered an espresso to help wake himself up!

Tower Bridge now has a glass walk way so you can see the road below and the river. It's lovely

Tower Bridge is a Bascule bridge (has bits that lift up like a draw bridge). It took 8 years to build and was opened in 1894.

It was needed as prior to this there was only one bridge over the Thames in London, London Bridge.

We also got to see the original engines used to lift the bridge.

Lovely views across London from the walkways
