Tower Bridge, on the other hand, has never fallen down. It stands today as it was built in 1894. It is known as London's defining landmark - representing London as an iconic structure that is recognised the world-over.

Ask anyone to name one fact about Tower Bridge, and the majority will answer that the road opens up to let boats through. But have you ever wondered how Tower Bridge works?
