Highlights
Entry to the Towers, East & West Walkways with Glass Floors, and the Victorian Engine Rooms.
About this experience
London’s most photogenic bridge isn’t just for photos—you can go inside. The ticket takes you up the North/South Towers, across the 42 m-high Glass Floor walkways, and down to the Victorian Engine Rooms that once powered the bascules. Time it with a lift if you want the “bridge opening” moment.
What's included
- Entry to the Towers, East & West Walkways with Glass Floors, and the Victorian Engine Rooms.
Who it's for
- All ages welcome; families and first-timers score easy skyline views. Lifts operate; some historic areas have steps/uneven floors.
What you'll do
- Ride up, walk the high-level Glass Floor for 360° river views, then explore exhibits and finish in the Engine Rooms.
Before you go
- Hours: open daily 09:30—18:00, last entry 17:00 (seasonal variations/closures apply).
- Tickets: timed entry; online pricing from £16 adult / £8 child. Queues managed for busy times (e.g., Crown Jewels not here—this is Tower Bridge, not the Tower).
- Bridge lifts: around 800 per year; check the live schedule—times can change at short notice.
Good to know
- Getting there: SE1 2UP; short walk from Tower Hill (District/Circle) or London Bridge (Jubilee/Northern + National Rail).
- You can walk across the roadway for free; the paid ticket is for the inside experience. (Best photo ops: riverside by City Hall at sunrise/sunset.)
Why this is worth it
Go inside the landmark: glass-floor views and steam-age engines—book a morning slot, then catch a lift if the schedule lines up.
