"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

The Tower Bridge was a Victorian vehicle and pedestrian tourist attraction and suspension bridge located on London's River Thames. On 24 July 1996, Cornelius Fudge was requested to stand down by Lord Voldemort with the threat of a mass Muggle killing if he did not do so. Fudge refused, and thus the attack on London occurred, also marking the one year anniversary of the return of Lord Voldemort. Fudge stood down promptly after, but not before the kidnapping of Florean Fortescue and Garrick Ollivander and the destruction of the Brockdale Bridge. Following the attack, the Dark Mark was cast into the sky above the bridge, the Tower of London, 30 St Mary Axe, and City Hall.[1]
