    The tower was not only built as a memorial but also as a scientific instrument. It has a central shaft meant for use as a zenith telescope and for use in gravity and pendulum experiments. But the heavy traffic on Fish Street Hill caused so much vibrations that it could not be used.

      Great view of Tower Bridge and The Shard, also very nice in the evening. There are many stories surrounding the tower in honor of the reconstruction of London after the great fire in 1666: themonument.info
