The one thing that everyone wants to experience when they spend time in London is the bridge rising up to let the boats go underneath it. The bridge rising is a feat of engineering that paved the way for many similar bridges, not only in London and Britain but around the world. The bridge has a road running over it and this experience of it rising is only really understood and appreciated when you are stationed on the road – when you can see the ground rising up in front of you it really does give a much better indication as to the majesty of the bridge and the fantastic spectacle that you are witnessing.

However, if you are without a car then there is a very real possibility that you will end up going without this sight. You can, of course, see it from afar but it really doesn’t have the same effect and can leave you feeling a bit disappointed. Do not despair, though, because there is a very simple solution that means you won’t have to go without. If you hire a car then you will be able to drive up to the bridge as the event is happening. You will see it from the best possible angle and gain the full experience. Then, you will be able to drive all over London to see all the other iconic sights that the capital has to offer.
