Tower Bridge & Tower of London

From the other side of River Thames, i strolled along the river bank and approached the iconic Tower Bridge. When i was there, no ships went through and so i didn't get the opportunity to see the bridge drawing up to let them through.


Such a magnificent day to be out and about London , just look at the sunshine and clear skies.

Just beside Tower Bridge is the Tower of London, my target destination in the morning. This building is very historical and holds all the Crown Jewels within it. There were also many displays of King/Queen's armours and suits and other attractions.



Within the tower, there were also displays of the King's chamber and rooms within the old palace. This place is somewhat similar to Chateau de Chillon that i visited in Montreux last year.


A self-taken picture just outside the tower to remember this day by.

This is a miniature of what the tower looks like. I spent about 4 hours at this place before moving on to my next destination.
