People are only just realising what the 'real' London Bridge looks like

If you've never been to London before, it's easy to understand why you might not know what London Bridge looks like. But it turns out lots of visitors don't either. A history buff has left anglophiles amazed after sharing the history behind London Bridge - and it turns out lots of people have been mixing it up with Tower Bridge.

One is a grand feat of architecture, often admired for its striking Neo-Gothic style. The other is easy to miss - a dull, grey structure, lacking the towers and ornate details of its counterpart. Both carry great historical significance, but one is far more popular with tourists - even if many regularly miscaption their pictures of Tower Bridge as London Bridge on Instagram.
