the main north tower. The two top blue passageways are used for parties. Pretty interesting place to have a glass of wine and look up and down river, specially during the night.

The south main tower. People frequently dont realise that this is a suspension bridge, these blue giant steel bits are actually cables which are hung on the main towers and support the bridge by pulling it up. So more weight you put on the bridge, it becomes stronger..sortta.
