Tour Details

• One of London’s most iconic landmarks, Tower Bridge has a fascinating history spanning over 135 years. Did you know it took 8 years to build and over 11,000 tonnes of steel were used for the Towers and Walkways? Discover interesting stories and more as you wander through the walkways and engage with the interactive displays and exhibitions. 
• A visit to Tower Bridge wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the incredible Walkways and Glass Floors. Walk across the high-level Walkways and enjoy panoramic views of London’s famous locations and landmarks. At 42 metres above the Thames, you’ll soak in sights of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece St Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf, the historic Greenwich, Tower of London, the City, The Shard and much more.
• Installed in 2014, the Glass Floors allow you to admire the hustle and bustle of the capital from right beneath your feet. Watch London’s double decker buses and black taxis pass by as well as the boats and cruise ships. Amazingly, 800 vessels still pass through the bridge each year!
• Once you’ve taken in the sights, travel back in time to the Victorian age as you venture into the atmospheric Engine Rooms to uncover the machinery and people that worked here. Operated by hydraulic power, you’ll explore the original steam engines that raised the bascules of the bridge and see how these bascules still rise today to let ships pass through.
