Tower Bridge is the only bridge in London that opens.
London Bridge isn't an opening bridge. The only bridge in London which spans the river Thames and can open, is Tower Bridge. If a boat needs to have the bridge opened so that it can pass underneath, it has to book a slot in advance with the bridgemaster who will arrange to open the bridge at the agreed time.
