Whenever I saw pictures of the Tower of London, it was featured with Tower Bridge. Because my attention was drawn to the bridge, I thought Tower Bridge was the Tower of London. I figured the prisoners were kept in one tower and the Crown Jewels in the other. At age 36, my wife and I went to London to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. When hopped in a cab to go on the tour of the Tower of London, the driver drove over Tower Bridge, right past both towers. I'm like, "Where's this guy going?" My wife, who had been to London several times before was kind enough to enlighten me.
