Tower Bridge during London Marathon

Tower Bridge during the 2019 London Marathon. Completed in 1894, Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge that spans the River Thames. It was designed to provide access to the East End docks, which were becoming increasingly important for London's trade. The bridge's distinctive Victorian Gothic style, with its two towers connected by high-level walkways, has made it a globally recognized symbol of London. The London Marathon, one of the world's largest annual marathon events, passes over the bridge, showcasing its enduring role in the city's public life.
