The Tower Bridge has got to be one of the great landmarks of London. The road bridge lifts up to allow passing ships to pass on special occasions. You can see the amazing steam engine which powered the lifting machinery for the Bridge and have a go at various hands on models. Various animatronic characters, which explain the history of the Bridge, are quite entertaining. But for me the highlight is the walk along the huge high level walkways between the two towers, where you can get amazing views across London.
