The staff were kind, very informative, and the experience overall was amazing! We went around 12pm and there was no wait time! It wasn't crowded so we could climb stairs and walk at our own pace! The glass floor was stunning to walk across and see the cars driving underneath you on the bridge! I would highly recommend

Tower Bridge highlights

Tower Bridge Tickets

North Tower

Your Tower Bridge visit begins at the North Tower. Learn about the history of the bridge through interactive displays. You also learn about the architects and technicians who built the bridge.

Tower Bridge tickets

Glass Walkway

One of the key highlights is the glass floor in the high-level walkway. From 42 m above the River Thames, you can get a complete view of London and spot iconic attractions such as the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, City Hall, The Shard, Wembley, and London itself.

Tower Bridge Tickets

South Tower

View video footage of the Bridge lifting and original designs of the Tower Bridge. As you walk down the South Tower, you will learn about the people who have kept the tower running since 1894. Amongst the pictures and plaques, you will also find the original tools and materials used to build the tower.

Tower Bridge tickets

Blue Line

Once you exit the South Tower, you will find a blue line that leads up to the Engine Room. Don't simply follow the line. Take a moment to observe the names that have been featured here. The line commemorates the men and the women who helped construct and maintain this iconic bridge.

Tower Bridge Tickets

Victorian Engine Rooms

The Engine Rooms once kept the Tower Bridge functioning. Now obsolete, these rooms continue to educate visitors about the tower's history. Visitors can view original Victorian steam engines, coal-fired boilers, drivetrains, and accumulators and learn how they work. The exhibition is available before you head to the gift shop.

Tower Bridge lifts

Tower Bridge lifts around 800 times a year and a visit to Tower Bridge is incomplete without seeing it lift. From cargo vessels to pleasure cruises and royal yachts, a wide range of vehicles passes from under the bridge. If you are visiting the Tower Bridge, plan your visit so that you can watch how the bridge lifts to allow ships to pass through.
