Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is a so-called bascule bridge, which allows motorized vehicles to cross the Thames but also allows boats to pass. It is made of granite for its facade, steel for its structure and concrete for its foundations. It is located between the districts of Southwark and Tower Hamlets, near the Tower of London from which it takes its name (it is also one of the four bridges managed by the Lord Mayor's services). Tower Bridge is located in the Pool of London (it marks the boundary between the Upper Pool upstream, and the Lower Pool downstream). At the time of its construction, Tower Bridge was the tallest (246 meters in length and 65 meters in height) and the most sophisticated bascule bridge ever built. This bridge is famous all over the world thanks to its very particular architecture. It is in neo-Gothic style. It consists of two large towers, a rigid suspension, an apron opening to the passage of the tallest ships and two pedestrian bridges parallel to the top. The machinery of the opening bridge has been open to the public since 1982 in the form of a museum showing the operation of the hydraulic mechanism which has made it possible since 1894 (date of the construction of the bridge by Sir John Wolfe-Barry and Horace Jones) to raise the weighbridge.

London Eye

The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually, and has made many appearances in popular culture. The structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. The London Eye used to offer the highest public viewing point in London until it was superseded by the 245-metre-high (804 ft) observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on 1 February 2013. The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge beside County Hall, in the London Borough of Lambeth. In March 2020 the London Eye celebrated its 20th birthday by turning its pods into experiences in partnership with its sponsor lastminute.com. The special experiences included a pub in a capsule, a west end theatre pod and a garden party with flower arrangements to represent the eight London Royal parks.
