In reply to Theodora.

Strangely it can be lifted at any time with no charge. Any vessel with a mast or superstructure of 30ft (9m) or more wishing to enter or leave the Upper Pool of London can ask for a Bridge Lift.
Bookings have to be made in writing and received at the Bridge at least 24 hours in advance of a lift.

In reply to Lee. Yes! That's very rare. I've seen it a couple of times, but never had a camera...

What a great photo. It is a shame that you couldn’t also get a picture of the Tower Bridge when it is raised
