The picture shown here is of Tower Bridge, which is worth a visit, but if you walk from London Bridge station across London Bridge, this is the view you see of Tower Bridge, along with the rest of the City, and the river scape is really stunning at this point.

err this is tower bridge which is impressive. London bridge is the 60s concrete thing next to it. Monument is dwarfed by the city offices surrounding it so not a particularly impressive view if you decide to climb it! More

You need to be of good health to climb all 311 stairs to the top of the momument. There isn't a lift! It is steeped in London history.

This was disappointing. Nothing spectacular at all. The only good thing was that you had a view of the London Tower. Don't put this on your bucket list. More

I have been there few times; but it is like something to see in London which is not so great thing. People just come and take pictures and the view of Thames river is quite good. One can enjoy things around like the river cruise, etc. More

After we visited the Tower of London, we walked over to see the bridge. It is a must see in London, you get great views of London along the Thames there. More
