The North Tower and Victorian history

The exhibition begins with historical context and multimedia presentations detailing the design competition that led to the bridge's creation. You'll learn about the engineers, the scale of the 8-year construction project, and the social history of the area surrounding the bridge.

The Glass Walkway (High-level walkways)

Connecting the two towers, these walkways offer panoramic, 360-degree views of London, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, and Canary Wharf. The Glass Walkway section allows you to look directly down onto the road, the river traffic, and the mechanism of the raising bascules 42 meters below. Interactive screens help you spot famous landmarks.

The Victorian Engine Rooms

Located at the base of the South Tower, this is the final, essential part of the Tower Bridge Museum. It houses the original steam engines, boilers, and hydraulic accumulators that powered the bascules until 1976. This section features detailed video displays and interactive models explaining the ingenious Victorian hydraulics.

Architectural highlights of the Tower Bridge Exhibition

Bascule and suspension design

Tower Bridge is a unique combination of a bascule (drawbridge) in the centre, designed by Sir Horace Jones and Sir John Wolfe Barry, and two suspension sections connecting the towers to the shore. This composite structure was the perfect solution to the conflicting needs of road traffic and tall-masted shipping.

Victorian Gothic cladding

The steel framework of the towers is deliberately clad in Portland stone and Cornish granite. This choice was made to give the massive industrial structure the Victorian Gothic style aesthetic, ensuring it visually complemented the nearby historic Tower of London and masking its functional, metallic core.

Cultural significance of the Tower Bridge Exhibition

The Tower Bridge Exhibition preserves one of the world's most recognisable pieces of industrial heritage. By showcasing the Victorian engineering inside the Tower Bridge Museum, the exhibition demonstrates Britain's technological dominance in the 19th century and its commitment to solving complex urban problems. The exhibition is a powerful reminder that the bridge remains a vital, working structure and a cultural icon representing London globally.
