The Tower of London is hardly gothic. It's in typical Norman style, so therefore romanesque. The bridge is in gothic revivalist style because that was sort of the 19th century romanticised view of medieval architecture. Rather than matching the style of the Tower, it's more of an idealised attempt at creating this (faux-)medieval milieu.

I remember there being an episode of Blue Peter at the time that the London Eye was being built where one of the presenters accompanied a pod being brought up the river on a barge. He was disappointed that Tower Bridge didn't need to open to let them through, but as the Eye was being built next to Westminster Bridge, the barge carrying the pod would've needed to fit under all the bridges downstream of there, so if it had been too big to pass under Tower Bridge without it having to open then it wouldn't have been able to pass under the bridges between it and Westminster either!

Sorry, as a Middlesbrough local, I have to be a pedant: The Transporter Bridge does not lift vehicles/people upwards. It carries them across at road level on a gondola. We also have(/had) a bridge, the Newport Bridge, that lifted its middle section straight upwards to let boats through. It's very cool.

I'm lucky enough to have been in the tower subway. You can only really get half way across now. Went down when I was making a TV show about London's bridges and tunnels.
