Best Answer

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 and is the only bridge in London which is able to open and allow tall ships to pass underneath. Although there is no longer commercial traffic using that part of the River Thames, Tower Bridge still opens several times every week to allow large yachts and other craft to pass underneath.
