Tower Bridge Well, bad news, buddy, but London Bridge is the next bridge upstream from Tower Bridge, and it's remarkably uninteresting in appearance-it's only claim to fame is that it is at the location of the first bridge across the Thames River, built by the Romans in 43AD.espite what many tourists think, Tower Bridge isn't hundreds and hundreds of years old, built in the time of castles and knights. It was completed in 1894 - the giveaway is the steel works which support the bridge, a 19th century innovation. Not everyone was enthusiastic about the new bridge.

London Bridge Many historical bridges named London Bridge have spanned the River Thames between the City of London and Southwark, in central London. The current crossing, which opened to traffic in 1974, is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. This replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old medieval structure. This was preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first built by the Roman founders of London.
