The Tower Bridge was commissioned in 1894. The bridge is considered one of the main symbols of London and Great Britain, standing on the same line with the famous Big Ben.
    The bridge was designed by the famous architect Horas Johnson. The Bridge`s length is 244 meters. It`s got two towers. The central span between them, the length of which is 61 meters, is divided into two lifting wings, designed for skipping vessels can rise to the angle of 83 °.
    There are galleries in two towers of the Bridge, but they are used exclusively as an observation deck and museum.
    I think, the Tower Bridge is a beautiful architectural structure of the 19th century.

       London double-decker buses are considered one of the business cards of London. And this is not surprising, because they are colorful and have an unusual design, they have decorated the streets of the city for many years. Until 1907, every bus route in London had its own color. To stand out against the competition, London General Omnibus painted its buses in red. Later it became dominant among all, and red buses filled the London roads. On Saturday, July 4, 1829, George Shiliber launched on the streets of London the first omnibus - a cart drawn by a troika of horses, which could accommodate 22 people. He borrowed the idea of ​​such a city transport from Paris. London Routemaster was commissioned in 1959 as a replacement for trolleybuses. In 1977, the capital "Routmasters" painted in silver in honor of the silver anniversary of the Queen - 25 years on the throne. In 2012, they gained a golden color - in honor of the diamond anniversary of Elizabeth II on the throne. During the Second World War, buses were used to transport postal pigeons. To get behind the wheel of a London bus, drivers need to pass a 55-hour training course. There is a legend that a London bus travels along the London roads. They say that at the intersection of St. Mark's Road and Cambridge Gardens they often see a bus at number 7, which suddenly appears and disappears as well. Perhaps this story would not have got accustomed to urban legends, if there had not been many accidents in this place under mysterious circumstances.

The famous London cab of the black cab has its own history, culture and traditions. Black cab is one of the symbols of London, along with red double decker buses, red phone booths and Big Ben. The history of the English taxi began in 1639. At first four-wheeled carriages were used. Already in the 1850s, more maneuverable open two-wheeled vehicles - cabriolets (hence the name "cab") traveled along the streets of London. At the beginning of the 20th century, the production of cars created especially for the London taxi began. In new cars counters have been built in, therefore the name of a taxi (tax - the tax, payment) has appeared. The modern London cab inherited its silhouette from the Austin FX3 model of 1948. The high body of a taxi is traditionally black, inside there is a partition dividing the driver and passengers. In England there is an unwritten rule: nothing should make a gentleman bare his head, even if he sits in a taxi. All drivers of London cabs are specially trained and must know the city perfectly, so that if necessary, replace the guide with curious passengers.
