A new perspective for visitors to Tower Bridge in London  – a vertiginous glass walkway suspended 42m (137ft) above the Thames over an 11m x 2m (36-foot by 6-foot) section of the bridge’s West Walkway.

A second walkway will open in December.

But not an actual beached whale.

An incredibly lifelike 55 foot long sculpture of a beached sperm whale by Belgian art collective Captain Boomer (complete with performers playing the parts of scientists and environmental cleanup workers) installed by the Thames at the Old Royal Naval College as part of the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (which ends this Saturday).
