There is an exhibition in the top of Tower Bridge and as this is the most well known bridge in the world (even if by the incorrect name, it isn't London Bridge) we had to see it.
The exhibition covers all aspects of the bridge, why the bridge was required, requirements of the bridge construction and now how the use of the bridge has evolved into a tourist attraction.
It was also great to see so many different school groups attending and learning about this bridge and also other famous bridges throughout the world.
As the Thames River was also at low tide we also spotted a man scavenging for items along the shore.

The Exhibition is in the upper area of the bridge and provides great views both east and west.

The final part of the Exhibition was looking through the old steam driven machinery on the south side that raised and lowered the bridge.
