Not-London Bridge is falling down
Tower Bridge
An iconic figure in the London landscape, the Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894 with a design by Horace Jones (author of the Leadenhall Market), and engineering provided by John Wolfe Barry and Henry Marc Brunel.
A need for such a bridge at this location began in the 19th century, when the East End of London was developing commercially and its population was growing, and the existing London Bridge (which, common misconception, is a different bridge) was not enough.
More than fifty designs were submitted, with the winner consisting of a bridge with two towers built on piers, and a central span that could open to allow river traffic to pass. Construction began in 1886, but Jones passed in 1887, so that Barry took over as architect until the project was completed.
Tower of London
The history of this structure begins with the White Tower, which was built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror as a fortified royal residence. The castle was further expanded in the 12th century, under Richard I, then later in the 13th under Henry III and Edward I.
It was in the 16th century that the tower began to decline, and it was used as a royal residence less and less. Instead, it was used mostly for storage and for the imprisonment of those who had offended the crown.
It was also occasionally used by royals as symbolic lodging before an important occasion, such as when Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I stayed there before their respective coronations.
The list of those held prisoner in the tower include Elizabeth I, Anne Boleyn, Guy Fawkes, Walter Raleigh, and Lady Jane Grey.
Leadenhall Market
Originally established in the 14th century, Leadenhall Market is located in what is today the city’s financial district.
It originally sold meat, game, and poultry, and though today it is dedicated mostly to fresh goods (including cheesemongers, butchers, and florists), the market also holds a tavern and several retailers.
The structure as it stands today was designed by Sir Horace Jones (who also worked on the Tower Bridge) in 1881. And, fun fact, Leadenhall Market is featured in the London Loop Course in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
