The Curious Traveller in the United Kingdom

In the couple of months or so that we have been posting to this blog and creating our mini websites regarding our travels, we have never done anything on the United Kingdom, the country in which we live. We have toured the United Kingdom extensively and therefore have a plethora of material upon which to write. We therefore decided that it was time to create at least something about the United Kingdom for our online portfolio.

Where better, therefore, to start than with the City of London, the capital city of the United Kingdom and the city with which most people associate the country.

Tower Bridge is one of London't most famous landmarks. It is named after the Tower of London, to which it stands adjacent and has spanned the River Thames since 1894. There are a number of interesting stories associated with Tower Bridge over the years and it has stood virtually unchanged while almost all around it has been totally revamped.
