Tower Bridge Not Falling Down

The song might go "London Bridge is falling down," but the bridge to be seen at in London is actually the Tower Bridge--built, in fact, because the London Bridge just couldn't handle enough traffic back in the 1890s. The Tower Bridge looks kinda like it's out of a a fairytale and it houses the Tower Bridge Exhibition inside.

For 6 pounds they let you get up high to their glass-covered walkways with pretty cool views over the Thames River and the rest of London, and you can also see the old steam engines that used to power the lifts that get you up there (they've gone for that modern alternative, electricity, now). What's more, there are even special rooms where you can get married if you're so inclined. We're not sure if they have an Elvis chapel, though.
