Absolutely not! London Bridge is an ordinary modern (1973) bridge which spans the River Thames. Its predecessor, built in 1820, is now located at Lake Havasu in Arizona. Tower Bridge, completed in 1894, also spans the river Thames and is the only bridge across the Thames which can be raised to allow large ships to pass underneath it, although that doesn't happen very often now. The original Victorian mechanism can still be seen in working condition in the bridge's museum. The bridge is quite distinctive, with two tall towers at each end and is situated next to the Tower of London from where it got its name.
No. They are two separate and very different bridges. Foreigners often think that Tower Bridge is London Bridge, but they are very wrong.

∙ 11y agoNo. London Bridge and Tower Bridge are two completely different bridges. However, foreigners and Americans in particular, erroneously think that Tower Bridge is London Bridge. You can view them both on Wikipedia.

∙ 11y agoNo, they are completely different. London Bridge is famous because of the childrens' nursery rhyme 'London Bridge is falling down' but the present bridge is a very modern (1973) structure. Tower Bridge, a much more interesting bridge, was built in 1894 and is the only bridge in London capable of opening to allow taller ships to pass underneath. Many foreigners think that Tower Bridge is London Bridge.

∙ 11y agowords can not describe how stupid you are. None that you would understand anyways.
The Tower of London is an ancient fortification which was started in 1087 by William 1 on the site of a Roman fort. Tower Bridge (completed in 1894) is adjacent to the Tower of London andhas a unique and memorable design. Many foreigners mistakenly believe that Tower Bridge is London Bridge, butthe current London Bridge(opened in 1973) is a very ordinarypre-stressed concrete box girder bridge. The only reason that it is well known is because of the nursery rhyme that refers tothe long gone wooden medieval bridge.
