There is no better water/structure spectacle in London than this. Stunning (particularly at night), the Tower Bridge is a suspension bridge that has become an icon of London.

The city is densely commercialized so it is a breeze to find a lodge, restaurant or bar, or shopping mall to complete your tour and thereby maximize your air tickets to London. Don’t waste the opportunity. Not everybody is given the chance to explore this stunning city.
