Be sure to pay attention to the guards of the Tower, standing in luxurious uniforms. Tower Bridge Over the dark waters of the Thames stretches the famous Tower Bridge, recognizable, probably, all over the world. It has become as much a symbol of London as the Eiffel Tower of Paris, the Statue of Liberty of New York. It even seems banal, so closely is his image associated with the capital of England. Nevertheless, again and again he shocks the viewer with the majesty and severity of forms. At night, the medieval gloom of the Tower Bridge disappears and, thanks to modern illumination, it appears before us as a kind of fantastic, fabulous structure.
