Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the world. It is the bridge of London you tend to see in movies and on advertising literature for London. Tower Bridge is the only bridge on the Thames which can be raised.

Tower Bridge is undergoing an essential and exciting 3-year restoration programme of painting works and stone cleaning.

In 2010 the fountain was relocated to the East End of Carter Lane, opposite St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.

Harris Digital Productions recorded the project for the City of London.
