Tower bridge was, and still is, an important landmark. When the bridge was opened in 1894, it was the largest bridge of its kind and a sorely needed River Crossing for vehicles in the area. Due to the controversy of the bridge's design and construction, Tower Bridge bought sightseers from all around to view the "absurd" bridge that represented "the vice and tawdriness and prentiousness" according to critics.
Throughout the years since, Tower Bridge has continued to serve as not only a convenient way to cross the Thames (with 40,000 people crossing each day), but also as a popular tourist attraction. The bridge is considered to be a symbol of London, featuring heavily in many London based TV shows and Movies.
