Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894, crossing the Thames has become one of the most prominent and photographed symbols of British culture. Constructed of steel and concrete, it was clad in Cornish granite to give it a more pleasant appearance. In December 1952, the bridge began to rise while a bus was crossing just at the end of the first section, the driver quickly accelerating and jumping a distance of one meter, and in turn falling two meters to reach the other half. Few were injured for such a dangerous feat, and the driver was rewarded for his bravery and quick decision with about 10 pounds, about 200 today. Nothing bad!

The City of London is a city and county that is an enclave of London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. Administratively, it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London; however, the City of London is not a London borough, a status reserved for the other 32 districts (including London's only other city, the City of Westminster).
