Take a close look at what's inside Tower Bridge
What's inside Tower Bridge?
Since 1982, when the walkways reopened after being closed for almost 72 years, the Tower Bridg has on display a series of exhibitions, the glass high-level walkways that connect the two towers and the famous Engine Rooms, as part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
North Tower
The North Tower of the Tower Bridge is where your tour begins. Here, visitors get to explore the immersive history of the Tower Bridge, from choosing the design, construction, and maintenance to the importance of the bridge in shaping London.
Glass Walkway
The high-level Glass Floor offers unparalleled views of London life, from 42 meters above the River Thames, and 33.5 meters above road level. If looking down scares you, you can enjoy the panoramic views of St Paul's Cathedral, the BT Tower, The Monument, and other iconic London attractions instead.
South Tower
Once you cross the high-level walkway you reach the South Tower of Tower Bridge. Nestled underneath this tower is its main attraction, the Engine Rooms. Apart from the steam engines that once powered the bridge, you will find the 'Lives of a Landmark' exhibition that documents the stories of the people working behind the scenes here.
Engine Rooms
Today the Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are simply a gateway into history, but for a long time, it was the beating heart of Tower Bridge. In 1976, Tower Bridge switched from steam power to electricity. However, the original steam engines that once powered the Tower Bridge can be viewed in the Engine Rooms.
