Imagine you’re driving a 7.5-ton double-decker bus across London’s most iconic bridge. The lights are green, the air is thick with 1952 smog, and twenty passengers are chatting behind you. Suddenly, the road in front of you doesn't just end—it rises.
This week, we tell the heart-pounding true story of Albert Gunter, the Number 78 bus driver who found himself on a rising bascule of Tower Bridge. Faced with a split-second choice between a 30-foot plunge into the Thames or a leap of faith, Albert did the unthinkable: he floored it.
If you love vintage London, true stories of quick thinking, or the hidden secrets of the world’s most famous landmarks, this is an unexpecte adventure story that you won’t want to miss.
