Le Tower Bridge est un pont basculant qui se situe sur la Tamise à Southwark, près de la Tour de Londres Au moment de sa construction, Tower Bridge était le plus grand et le plus sophistiqué des ponts basculants jamais construits.
Ce pont est célèbre dans le monde entier grâce à son architecture très particulière : il est composé de deux grandes tours, d'une suspension rigide, d'un tablier s'ouvrant au passage des navires les plus hauts et d'une passerelle au sommet.
Les machineries du pont ouvrant et la passerelle sont ouvertes au public pour des petites visites. Hors d'Angleterre, il est parfois confondu avec le London Bridge (Pont de Londres).
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England over the River Thames. When it was built it was the biggest and the most sophisticated combined bridge in the world.
This bridge is famous worldwide thanks to its particular architecture: it is composed of two big towers, a fixed suspension, a central span which opens to allow the traffic to pass and a high-level walkway.
It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London and is sometimes mistakenly called London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream.
