Tower Bridge is one of the most famous and recognizable bridges in the world, but it is often confused with London Bridge which shares the city's name.  Completed in 1894, Tower Bridge is a working drawbridge that still operates today and is a marvel of Victorian engineering.  The original water hydraulics were replaced in 1974, but many of the original mechanisms are still on display at the bridge's museum in the south tower.
