£1 Million Pounds to give Tower Bridge Glass Walkway - Europe Catches American love for dizzying heights may spread to Saudi Arabia and Asia

Glass Walkways seem to be the thing these days.

Probably explains why one is already in  the Tower Bridge, a 120-year-old crossing over the River Thames, finally decided to have one installed as declared in the “Glass Walkway offers breathtaking views from London's Tower Bridge”, published November 11, 2014 By Barry Neild, CNN.


This Glass bottom Walkway joins the Grand Canyon and Chicago's Willis Tower in the US of A.


The Europeans, not to be outdone, had one installed in the Eiffel Tower in Paris as reported in “Eiffel Tower gets dizzying glass floor”, published Mon October 13, 2014 12:55 PM EDT By Barry Neild, CNN.


At 42 m (138") high and costing some £1 million pounds, it's a dizzying drop that's not for the faint of heart. A second is to been installed at the East end of London Bridge by Monday December 1st 2014 and represents the first structural upgrade to London Bridge since the 80's.

It's an added attraction for the city of London and is going well for London Bridge, which on average attracts some 600,000 visitors daily.

Here's a video showing what it's like to walk on the Glass Walkway of the Tower Bridge.


Monday December 1st 2014 is only a week away before the next Glass Walkway is installed on the London Bridge! It'll be interesting to see which structures, possibly in Saudi Arabia or East Asia i.e. Japan or China, will be next to incorporate this marvel of architectural wizardry that's not much different from a Glass Bottom Boat!
