Totally iconic bridge, both as a London landmark and for runners in the London Marathon, Tower Bridge was opened in 1894 after eight years of construction. The two spans of the bridge can be raised to allow boats to pass underneath. Running across the bridge is an amazing experience, especially if you get up early or run late so that it's a bit quieter and you're lucky enough to catch a sunrise or sunset. Running on marathon day is even better - the bridge is at mile twelve so you're almost halfway. It's also a handy place to cross the Thames so you can link up the paths on each side and run a fun loop of London landmarks.

"Big Ben" is not the bell tower, but the largest bell in this tower. And the scaffolding is gone, the tower shines again in all its glory.

A visit to London simply includes a visit to the Tower of London. My supervisors have already compiled the most important facts here. But if you really want to experience something bizarre and out of time, I recommend the "Ceremony of the Keys". In the evening at 9:30 p.m. in the dark tower, witness the key handover and listen to the stories of the Yeoman - simply fascinating.

The Tower is located directly on the Thames on the eastern edge of the City of London and thus forms the eastern entry point into central London. While the Tower visually dominated the city around it for many centuries, this began to change after the Great Fire of London in 1666. St Paul's Cathedral, built by Christopher Wren, was of a similarly impressive size. New larger buildings replaced the medieval buildings that had shaped the cityscape up to then. The great 19th century quays were built on a similar scale to the Tower, with Tower Bridge of 1894 surpassing it. From the 20th century, the city began allowing numerous high-rise office buildings near the Tower, which were successively replaced by larger buildings. Tower Bridge is to the southeast of the fort. To the east, its busy driveway – part of London's inner ring road – runs right past the Tower; another main street, Byward Street (an extension of Lower Thames Street) is to the north of the Tower. These busy streets are bordered by narrow sidewalks that pedestrians are discouraged from using. However, the open spaces of Tower Hill to the west and the banks of the Thames to the south still allow an impression of the fortress that is not determined by the roaring traffic. The location in the urban area is the result of various master plans in the 20th century, which focused on the tower itself. They included the area around the fortress in their planning only to the extent that it was needed to smuggle visitors to the tower. This changed at the turn of the century. Between 1995 and 2004, the main entrances to the tower were redesigned under the title Tower Environs Scheme and car traffic was banned from the west and south of the tower. The Tower is accessible via London Underground's Tower Hill station, which is used by around half of Tower visitors. Other visitors arrive via Fenchurch Street station and Tower Gateway station on the Docklands Light Railway, moor a boat at Tower Millennium Pier or catch a bus in the car park under Tower Place. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London
