Walk around bridges of London
Westminster Bridge offers an impressive view of Big Ben and the London Eye! Even though it was really crowded when we were passing through, we did enjoy the view. At the end of the bridge, there was also a beautiful lion statue. Then we continued our walk by the Thames river, passing by the London Eye, and some popular bridges like Hungerford Bridge, Golden Jubilee Bridges, Waterloo and Blackfriars. Between Blackfriars and Southwark Bridges is the famous Tate Modern, which is next to the famous Millennium Bridge and is definitely worth a visit. The entrance is free and there are great exhibitions of modern art. We then headed towards London Bridge, definitely a must-see with the famous Borough food market next it. The highlight of our stroll was Tower Bridge, which is really like it came out of a fairytale - worth buying a ticket as it offers stunning views from the top.

Several bridges named London Bridge have spanned the River Thames between the City of London and Southwark, in central London. The current crossing, which opened to traffic in 1973, is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. It replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old stone-built medieval structure. This was preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first of which was built by the Roman founders of London. — Wikipedia
Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel.
