Everybody who visits London also visits Tower Bridge. No trip to the capital is complete without seeing the bridge in action; rising high into the air in order to let a ship pass smoothly underneath. It is a joy to behold and a massive thumbs up to the Victorian engineers who were able to design and build such an amazing contraption that still works over 130 years on. Indeed, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that you will decide to visit this monument almost as soon as you arrive in the city; after all, it is situated in the heart of London and can be incorporated into a lovely stroll along the river. It’s central location makes it incredibly accessible and means that there is little, if any difficulty in navigating yourself to and from the bridge.

However, this is not the case for all the sights in London. Whilst it may be easy to get to Tower Bridge, it is much more difficult to get to some of the other places by train. If, for example, you wanted to visit Madame Tussauds waxwork museum. This isn’t within an easy transport journey from the bridge but it would be foolish to miss out because of that! Instead, make sure that you hire a car from Tower Bridge. That way, you can have your walk on the river and then leap in a car and drive to all the famous sites in the city; what could be better than that?
