A View From The Tower

Product Information

The Tower Bridge itself was completed in 1894 and uses a hydraulic system to open the bascules and allow boats to travel underneath. To learn more about it, I would recommend visiting the Tower Bridge Exhibition to go inside the bridge. There are interactive exhibits that explain exactly how the system works.

Tips for visiting: Your best bet is to get to the base of the Monument as it opens and be first up the stairs. If you can’t manage that then go on a slightly grey and chilly day when other people are too sensible to want to stand 61 meters in to the sky looking down at London! The Monument is just down the street from the Sky Garden and you can easily do both in one outing. One New Change is a shopping center right across the road from St Paul’s. As you enter, turn around to see the dome reflected in the glass windows of the shops either side. But the best awaits you on the rooftop terrace. At six floors up, you’re level with the dome of St Paul’s, barely 325 feet (100m) away, and this is the best viewpoint of this enduring symbol of London, especially if you come for sunset in the spring and autumn.

Architecture Audio description of the Tower of London by Mike Gatting Layout Plan of the Tower of London The Bardini Gardens (also called Giardino Bardini) are located on the same hill as the Boboli Gardens. The Bardini Gardens are much smaller, but because of their location, offer a better view of Florence. These gardens are also lesser known, so they tend to be less crowded than the Boboli Gardens. The London Eye gets an unfair reputation as a tourist trap, but it’s one of the best ways to see London from ‘on high.’ Yes, you’ll encounter plenty of tourists as you line up to board a capsule on the 443-foot wheel — you’ll likely share your capsule with many of them as you spend 30 minutes on a single rotation of the wheel (the standard length for a ride aboard the Eye).Shaw may one day get his comeuppance, though, as the penultimate scene showed his wife in their car, in possession of Farah's phone (that she had told her husband she had destroyed), so she holds the vital evidence Sarah needs. Will she give it to her? It also has one of the best view of Florence from the top of the tower and perhaps one of the best views in Italy. Climbing Torre di Arnolfo at the Palazzo Vecchio

You also get to see some of the more famous Florence towers in your view. I went up to the RSC Tower with my Mum and we couldn’t believe the breathtaking views we got from up here.

In 1999, physical evidence of lion cages was found, one being 2x3 metres (6.5x10 feet) in size, very small for a lion that can grow to be 2.5 meters (approximately 8 feet) long.
