To clarify, I mean what’s inside these towers circled in the picture?
Just safeguards against it falling down, falling down, falling down I think.
This isn’t the one that falls down, falls down, falls down.
Exactly. That’s because of the safeguards.
For a long time, I thought the crown Jewels were there. But it turns out the Tower of London and London Tower bridge are two different things!
They’re pretty much next to each other, but yeah separate.
The tower is London is straight up a castle, the tower bridge is newer and is about 5 min walk away.
I only know this because there’s a mission in Watch Dogs Legion that’s inside it.
It’s where they keep all the cheese. Jeez, everyone in the UK knows that. Try to keep up Nigel. FFS
I really feel like people post shit in this sub just to get attention. So many posts, like this one, would not exist if the poster just searched the title on any search engine. Most of the time they’d have better answers than any comment from random people, and they’d have it immediately. Why didn’t you just look this up? Why post here and make others do work for you?
You’re implying that the question is stupid?
They’re an elitist that doesn’t realize comments like their’s that stifle curiosity are the entire reason this community exists on nearly every platform.
God I fucking hate this comment. Yes the poster could have just googled it. But you know what? I had never thought about what’s in those towers. So I clicked on the topic to come to the comments and learn something. Instead I find your snarky worthless comment that contributes even less than the OP. Asking questions on here is a way to share curiosity and foster discussion. And lemmy needs more content, not less. So I hope no one takes your comment to heart.
Right? The ask is to initiate a conversation and to think about.
I wonder if the prior commenter, during a date, just goes, “Why are you asking? Just Google it.” Over and over.
Excellent response. You put it perfectly.
I like this sub exactly the way it is. If something isn’t for me, I move on. Not a big deal. And OP asked a great question. I never thought about it either, lol.
Read the wikipedia article first.
No stupid questions here. Only the occasional stupid answer.
I went to a party in the top bit once. It’s just a sort of empty corridor that you can hire. Amazing views down the river.

Steak and ale pies on the left and gravy in the right.
The gravy is boiling hot to pour on invaders while others throw steak and ale mugs.
The bridge was designed to allow using the elevated sidewalk when the drawbridge is up. It does not go up often anymore.
Fun fact:
I went to a private school where some of the teachers were freemen of the city of London. Apparently, they could request that tower bridge be raised. None of them ever tried, but I believe it is some weird legacy law. They also had the right to drive their sheep across London Bridge, but that one has burnt down, burnt down, burnt down.

Also the royal toast supply
Tower Bridge has its own website which has a little information about what’s inside (though it’s mostly trying to get you to do a tour).
so
- stairs
- hallways
?
Probably the odd restroom and some storage rooms?
The actual royal family that was usurped by the current one we see
