It all depends on the kind of bridge you are building
There isn't another bridge anywhere else in the world that looks anything like Tower Bridge so it is instantly recognisable. It is the only bridge over the river Thames that can be raised to allow tall-masted boats to pass under it. It is still possible for pedestrians to cross the bridge, even when it is 'open' to allow a boat to pass underneath.
The only London Bridge that can be raised is the Tower Bridge. Completed in 1894, it features two bascule (drawbridge) sections that can be lifted to allow ships to pass through. Tower Bridge is often mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is a different and much simpler structure located nearby.
