The world's most famous bridge offers an exhibit describing its unique history and its role in London's development. The bridge, known around the world for its pale blue lines and Gothic style, first opened in 1894. The museum takes you through succeeding years with animatronics and interactive displays, which punctuate fantastic views of the Thames. If you're lucky, the bridge will open for a passing ship while you're there, showing off the advanced architecture and mechanics involved. Not only is the bridge itself interesting, but the whole history of London and its river is a brilliant start to understanding this multicultural metropolis. TUBE: Tower Hill or London Bridge
