What's the story behind the Tower Bridge? | History of the City

For over 100 years, Tower Bridge has been one of London’s most iconic sights. Well, sort of...
The Bridge was finished in 1894 and it was not popular with architectural experts. It was described as “absurd” and “pretentious” by commentators, which no doubt would outrage bridge lovers today.
But why does it look that way anyway? What’s the story behind the Bridge? And was the Bridge a haven for prostitutes and pickpockets?
Join City A.M. as we explore the history of Tower Bridge in the very first episode of History of the City, thanks to ‪@City-Bridge-Foundation‬.
