Tower Bridge and City Hall at sunrise, London

Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust’s bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, the northern landfall being in Tower Hamlets.

City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority (GLA), which comprises the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. It is located in Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. It was designed by Norman Foster and opened in July 2002, two years after the Greater London Authority was created.

This is a one of the most spectacular mornings I have ever seen in London with Tower Bridge surrounded in morning fog. I have airbrushed out a post that was in the foreground otherwise this image has only a little bit of editing. A beautiful cold , calm winters morning in London.
