My London Adventure!
Part 12: Tower Bridge and Boat Tour.
This week I'm sharing my photos from Tower Bridge and the lovely boat tour I took, which only cost me £5.20!
Tower Bridge is one of my favourite landmarks in London, though I am not sure why haha! Also it's hard getting a selfie with a huge bridge but I did it!

- It is 244 Metres long and 61 Meters high.
-It was opened on 30th June 1894, nearly 121 years ago.
-It is a Grade 1 structure.

 |
| The Millennium Bridge. |
 |
| Cleopatra's Needle. Cleopatra's Needle is made of red granite from the quarries of Aswan, weighing a hefty 224 tons each. Standing tall at 68ft (21 metres), they were originally erected in ancient Egyptian city of Heliopolis by Pharoah Thutmose III (1481-1425BC) around 1450BC. Ramesses II (1300s-1213BC) added the hieroglyphs around 200 years later to commemorate his military victories. |
