Tower Bridge is celebrating 120 years as London’s most iconic Thames crossing with an exhibition at The Guildhall Art Gallery.
Paintings, etchings and memorabilia highlighting its history will be showcased until mid-July.
The suspension bridge, which opens and closes almost 1,000 times a year for warships, cruise ships and other large vessels, was opened in June 1894, having cost £1.2 million to construct over eight years. |

Our Riverside Code trailer was one of the most popular attractions at the South London Scout Centre event in May.
The event attracted Beavers and Cub Scouts from the London boroughs of Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich, all of which
have river borders as well as canals, minor rivers and large lakes. More than 1,200 Beavers and Cub Scouts attended.
Our rep, Phil Wilkinson, worked so hard that he was even praised on Twitter. |
