About Tower Bridge
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. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0. 5 mi upstream.

A tale of two Richmonds: Greggs confuses North Yorkshire market town with town in London
Scenic pictures of Richmond upon Thames in London have been displayed in a branch of Greggs in the North Yorkshire market town of Richmond.
The images included a bridge over the River Thames and a signpost to London landmarks Tower Bridge and Kew Gardens .
The black-and-white framed photographs have now been removed from the bakery, located More Than 240 miles (386km) from the branch in south west London.
Greggs has been approached by The Bbc for a comment.
Shoppers in the North Yorkshire town seemed amused by The Confusion with its southern counterpart, which lies in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Close to the bakery in Market Place , one local resident told BBC Look North : " They have made a big boo-boo haven't they?
" It's somebody in Head Office , isn't it, who thinks they know More Than The Locals ? "
Another resident said: " I think there are enough photos of Richmond itself to warrant supporting the North Yorkshire town, as opposed to that lot down south. "
