What is inside the towers of London Bridge (or is it called Tower Bridge?)
From the outside it appears to be “livable.” Are there apartments inside? offices? a museum? shops? I have always wanted to know. Anyone have an answer?

It’s where they keep that Royal cousin that no-one likes to talk about…
It is Tower Bridge, and it has quite the interpretive display inside: Tower Bridge Experience. (I loved their first album, “The Swinging Bridges,” back in '72, by the way.)
It doesn’t say so explicitly, but I think the machinery is inside the towers.
Thankyou, that was interesting and slightly informative. I still have to wonder what ORIGINALLY was inside the towers though.
The little rooms in Tower Bridge contain the gears and mechanisms needed to raise the bridge. There is a Tower Bridge Tour available which is usually pretty popular with tourists.

for details.
London Bridge is a whole different structure. Admittedly I’ve only ever driven over it (as fast as London traffic allows), but I don’t recall little appartments, just big offices. It must have been Tower Bridge that you were thinking of.

If anyone out there has seen the film version of “Biggles”, then you’ll know that Peter Cushing lives there.
BTW, the current London bridge is a comparatively new structure, the previous bridge was bought by an American that thought it was Tower Bridge 
It seems there’s a perceptual problem endemic in American architectural veiwpoints, LOL
If it’s London Bridge (the one in Arizona), then isn’t it haunted by the spirit of Jack the Ripper in a really bad 70’s movie?
