Dan Cruickshank begins a new four-part series looking at Britain's best buildings with an exploration of London's Tower Bridge. One of the most famous silhouettes in the country, it is an extraordinary building for the modern age. Sheathed in the disguise of a medieval skin, the bridge hides the dramatic workings of 20th-century technology and construction and has, at various times, been the site of prostitution, suicide, intrigue and immodesty, and a conservation battle that raged for two decades.
Producer Sam Hobkinson ; Executive producer Basil Comely BBC BOOK: Britain's Best Buildings, by Dan Cruickshank , is available. L25
