Tower Bridge is a suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and

the help of Henry Marc Brunel. It crosses the River Thames close to the
Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained
by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust founded in 1282. The

19th century. The bridge was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales and
Alexandra, Princess of Wales in 1894.
