About this pattern

Tower Bridge in London seen square on from the river. Two pale gray stone towers stand on stone piers, each with a dark slate spire, a small pinnacle at each corner and three pointed windows, one above another. A blue walkway joins the towers high up and the level road deck runs from bank to bank below, with a seam in the middle where its two leaves meet. On each side a blue chain steps down from the tower to a small stone turret on the bank, with two thin dark hanger rods under it and bare cloth between them.

63 stitches wide by 48 high: 1,908 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322, Pearl Gray 415 and 3 more).
