RampantParanoia2365,

Just safeguards against it falling down, falling down, falling down I think.

Zess,

This isn’t the one that falls down, falls down, falls down.

glnpf148,

Exactly. That’s because of the safeguards.

TenderfootGungi,

The bridge was designed to allow using the elevated sidewalk when the drawbridge is up. It does not go up often anymore.

ccunix,

Fun fact:

I went to a private school where some of the teachers were freemen of the city of London. Apparently, they could request that tower bridge be raised. None of them ever tried, but I believe it is some weird legacy law. They also had the right to drive their sheep across London Bridge, but that one has burnt down, burnt down, burnt down.

corsicanguppy,

so

  1. stairs
  2. hallways

Probably the odd restroom and some storage rooms?

Squeezer,

I went to a party in the top bit once. It’s just a sort of empty corridor that you can hire. Amazing views down the river.

Tower Bridge has its own website which has a little information about what’s inside (though it’s mostly trying to get you to do a tour).

Also the royal toast supply

dutchkimble,

The actual royal family that was usurped by the current one we see

deegeese,

Read the wikipedia article first.

stoicmaverick,

No stupid questions here. Only the occasional stupid answer.

blackn1ght,

Steak and ale pies on the left and gravy in the right.

The gravy is boiling hot to pour on invaders while others throw steak and ale mugs.

Phegan,

    God I fucking hate this comment. Yes the poster could have just googled it. But you know what? I had never thought about what’s in those towers. So I clicked on the topic to come to the comments and learn something. Instead I find your snarky worthless comment that contributes even less than the OP. Asking questions on here is a way to share curiosity and foster discussion. And lemmy needs more content, not less. So I hope no one takes your comment to heart.

    Potatos_are_not_friends,

    Right? The ask is to initiate a conversation and to think about.

    I wonder if the prior commenter, during a date, just goes, “Why are you asking? Just Google it.” Over and over.

    Excellent response. You put it perfectly.

    I like this sub exactly the way it is. If something isn’t for me, I move on. Not a big deal. And OP asked a great question. I never thought about it either, lol.

    You’re implying that the question is stupid?

    xmunk,

    They’re an elitist that doesn’t realize comments like their’s that stifle curiosity are the entire reason this community exists on nearly every platform.

    BestBouclettes,

    Stairs on one side, an elevator on the other and a museum dedicated to the bridge. The two towers are linked by the decks and they both have glass floors. It’s a pretty cool sight to do in London.

    dbx12,

    Thanks to Spider-Man: Far from home, I knew of the glass floor decks :D

    (And it was just plausible enough to be not ruled out as “the glass is just in the movie so it can shatter”)

    Woozythebear,

    The London Bridge (not tower) is just filled with bats. They definitely have the cooler of the two London bridges.

    MrsDoyle,

    Both sides have elevators. One side also has the bridge lift, the mechanism that raises the central bridge to let ships through.

    The tower on the left is home to the Tea Wizard who uses parts of the lower floors for the nation’s biscuit reserves. The one on the right is host to a princess that’s been waiting for rescue by a prince for a very long time now.

    hungryphrog,

    Oh. Thanks for this information.
