    Love the subtle inclusion of the cue mark at the top right corner of the video before the sponsor segment (8:05) - I also noticed it in the last video.

    The Tower of London is hardly gothic. It's in typical Norman style, so therefore romanesque. The bridge is in gothic revivalist style because that was sort of the 19th century romanticised view of medieval architecture. Rather than matching the style of the Tower, it's more of an idealised attempt at creating this (faux-)medieval milieu.

    • @sebastianpeheim8851

    Bridges are fascinating for sure it'd be cool to have a new episode about the Tube someday, like you once did with the northern heights scheme :D. I believe there's a lot say, for instance, concerning all the Fleet/Jubilee line projects in the 1980s.

    I'm lucky enough to have been in the tower subway. You can only really get half way across now. Went down when I was making a TV show about London's bridges and tunnels. This is almost certainly far more entertaining than my show though. I also got to open tower bridge and stand in it's counterweight chambers when the bridge lifted (really quite frightening).

      @@pk3ndl3r took a lot of health and safety paperwork as I recall. Also had to coincide with some other maintenance work being done on the tower subway as we could not afford the man power to so all the safety precautions just for us. I probably didn't appreciate what a great show that was to write and film for at the time. The day we filmed up Big Ben I couldn't be bothered to go. I did however get to sit on Nelson's head in Trafalgar Square and stand on the roof of the new Heathrow airport control tower.
