Programming languages are like bridges - you can use them to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Some languages (such as Python) are very simple and elegant in their design yet take a tremendous amout of traffic ... perhaps there's a pararallel to London Bridge there ...

... but other languages have grown up over time and are a little less elegant, such as the combination of road and rail bridges (two of the three survive) at Blackfriars:

Further languages - PHP is a good example amongst those that we teach - fulfill a specailist need; in the case of PHP, it's for web programming, and in the case of Tower Bridge, it's the need for a low level crossing which tall ships can pass
