<P> Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894 . The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London , resulting in it sometimes being confused with London Bridge , situated some 0.5 mi ( 0.80 km ) upstream . Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates , a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation . It is the only one of the Trust 's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank , as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets . </P>
