One of the most magical places in London. Great view of the city, ideal spot for a nice long walk by the river, extremely relaxing, especially now that we've been in lockdown read more

It's not Fergie's London Bridge is falling down... 1. It wasn't my fave of London but it is a must see tourist attraction to check off your list. Cool architecture. For a small fee you can take the elevator then walk up to the top for a self guided tour and a nice view. I liked the info and pictures of the longest bridges of the world that were showcased in the walkway. 2. You can also check out the engine room after you leave the bridge, but that was really boring and I zipped right through it. But if that stuff is fascinating to you, you must be boring. jk read more

The prettiest bridge in all of London. While you really don't need to take a detour to see it, make sure you observe it and all its glory when going back and forth across the Thames. There is a museum and for a fee you can walk across the top of the bridge and learn a bit more. If you were like me, though, and only in London for a few days, there are better places to spend your time like the Tower of London from which the bridge gets its name. read more

Gorgeous, iconic view, both of the bridge and from the bridge. It's quite fun to watch the drawbridge rise for boats passing through - it's not a sight you see very often anymore. It's visible if you exit the Tower of London from the back, and the architecture is very intricate and impressive to look at. You can walk across it during regular traffic, and if you're up for paying for a ticket you can get a tour of the towers themselves and walk across the top walkway. read more

Magnificent! Plant your feet on London's most recognizable bridge, take shameless selfies with it in the background, immerse yourself in a piece of historical & architectural grandeur. Centrally located & nearby countless other must-see attractions, there's no reason to miss walking across Tower Bridge or taking the paid tour to see its inner workings. Understandable that Tower Bridge would mistakenly be referred to as London Bridge because why would a song be written about the nondescript bridge further down on the Thames?! read more

For decades, out-of-towners have mistaken Tower Bridge with the rather uninspired London Bridge ... including the American entrepreneur/dumba** Robert Paxton McCulloch, who bought and moved the original, rather drab London Bridge brick-by-brick to Lake Havasu, Arizona. Tower Bridge is a sight to see, and I recommend seeing it every way you can: on both sides of the Thames, day and night, as a pedestrian, on an open-topped double decker bus, above via the London Eye and/or The Shard, and below by river boat on the Thames. While it can be quite busy, I also recommend going up on the tour. Nothing like seeing people walking below you! read more

Love this bridge so much ... am so mesmerized by it and couldn't stop taking pictures even thought I've been here many times. So glad we chose to climb yet tower and walk across the platforms. Looking though the glass bottom was dizzying and fun! read more

How often does it happen that you are at one of the most famous sights worldwide and then all of a sudden this place is getting into action? When crossing Tower Bridge this actually happened to me. At the middle of the bridge I noticed that the staff standing there were already waiting to stop the traffic and all crossing pedestrians. Luckily I could catch a perfect spot to take pictures of what happened next. A little ship, but equipped with a huge mast, wanted to pass Tower Bridge. In order to do so, the bridge had to be opened. It was amazing to see how these huge bascules were raised to ensure a safe passage of the vessel under the bridge. The whole process was working perfectly efficient. Just within minutes everything was done and the traffic could continue without any major delay. I heard that the ship passing times can even be checked online in advance. I would definitely recommend checking this out first to align your visit with another ship scheduled for its passage. read more

The tower bridge is a beautiful structure next to the Tower of London. You can cross across the Thames here by foot. There is a higher level where you can cross over too, but am not sure if that would require tickets (if so, I wouldn't recommend paying just for that). Otherwise, the bridge is picture perfect on those rare gorgeous sunny days in London, which we were fortunate to have :). read more

This might be what many not in the know think is the "London Bridge" sometimes it takes going to London to be put in check to realize what you have always thought to be the London Bridge is actually the Tower Bridge, and that the current London Bridge in London is nothing more than a regular bridge/road with no fan fare. Tower Bridge here is what you came to see. Historical period. You go to London you HAVE to visit and take a photo with this thing in the background. It's like being a tourist in SF and not taking a picture with the Golden Gate bridge. Nice thing is you can view the Tower Bridge from many vantage points. I'll let you figure those out yourself as the area around here is very walkable and enjoyable. The Tower of London is just past or before (depending which side) so make sure to snap a shot with the Tower of London if you are already here to cross off 2 must see places in London. read more

I love the design of the bridge. I love it more when I got to see it up close and personal. This is a beautiful bridge and really not a long walk to cross from one end to another. Try it, it's good for your health! I saw many people cross the bridge to get to work on the other side. I walked to the other side and walked back to the other side on the other path of the bridge, so that I could see the views from both angles. If you come from The Tower Hotel Guoman, don't forget to take pictures of the Tower Bridge which includes the "Girl with a Dolphin" because that's an amazing view just like a postcard photo! Amazing architecture. Everything about it is just so phenomenal. Hope you enjoy the Tower! read more

Yep, another iconic lane dmark that is generally mistaken for London Bridge (which actually isn't all that spectaular). Maybe they should change the name, but it turns out that everybody knows that if you are looking for London Bridge you are actually looking for this bridge, and it doesn't matter how often you try to convince somebody otherwise they will continue to refer to this bridge as London Bridge. I been past it numerous times by walking, catching a bus, and even driving, though in the end it is basically your standard bridge. Actually, it is designed to allow tall ships to pass through , and is actually the second to last bridge along the Thames before the see (the final one is the one where the M25 circular crosses the river). In the end, if you happen to be in London you will end up here, particularly since it is next to the Tower of London. read more

You cannot visit London without visiting the iconic Tower Bridge! The Tower Bridge provides a panoramic scenic view of London and is a great place to take a nice stroll at any time of the day. The bridge connects two historic locations in London in just a short waterfront walk. The view on the bridge is very pretty during sunset. It is a perfect location for taking pictures. This bridge connects you to historical landmarks/museums, many dining options areas nearby, and some shopping areas as well. read more

Great experience, would highly recommend as a London must do. I'm not one for over priced tourist attractions, after walking over the Tower Bridge for nearly 2 years decided to see the view platform for myself. Went with a good friend who volunteered to help me complete my London Buckets List. I thought the price was fair, line for tickets moved fast and felt the overall exhibit was well timed. Good mix of history, interesting facts about bridges and loved the footage shown of bridge in 1903 not long after the bridge was opened. The glass floors are amazing, yes you battle to avoid other strangers in your photo but it's worth the time. The south hall had a mirror on the roof and we had a lot of fun trying to capture a Instagram worthy photo. The engine room was really impressive and enjoyed the interactive game to test if you can manage the opening of the bridge; harder then it looks! read more

Tower bridge is beautiful and functional! Many lanes for traffic as well as walkways for others. There is a great tourist attraction to walk up at the top of the bridge and cross it over head. Very cool experience, the walkways overhead have glass bottoms to look down and see traffic! read more

What an amazing experience that we almost passed on! The Tower Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in London and makes for a stunning backdrop in photos. It's a great stop before or after the Tower if London, which is just next door. During our recent trip to London, my partner and I had purchased The London Pass, which covered our entry into the Tower Bridge, along with approximately 80 other attractions in the London Area. We initially had a hard time figuring out where the entrance was to the museum portion of the Bridge... Maybe we missed some signage somewhere? But finally made our way in. Once we passed the ticketing counter, we were brought to an elevator where we traveled up one of the towers. Once up above the roadway, we were able to enjoy views out over the river, but also down to the road and river below, thanks to glass panels in the floor! Our kiddo loved it and we took lots of fun pics. While up in the towers and spans, there were posters and videos explaining the history of the bridge to check out. Then, we moved downstairs (and outside for a bit) to see more of the engineering side of the bridge down below. And finally, as with all great London destinations, our visit ended with a trip though the gift shop, filled with fun souvenirs. All in all, a really fun attraction that was as informative or laid back as you wanted it to be. So glad we stopped! read more

Tickets to go on the bridge are reasonable and you get a beautiful view. The glass floors don't cover the entire floor so if you're scared of it, you can walk around it. It's a great place to take lovey photos of the city with pieces of history read more

Was a fun place to go to. It was neat to learn the history and cool to go up the tower as an experience. There's a glass bottom on the highest portion of the bridge and it was pretty scary... but a good photo op. I recommend this place to visit. 10 pounds per adult is the entrance fee. read more

This was part of our London Pass that we bought through Costco. The pass gave us 4 days of entry to many venues including the London Bridge. If coming from the Tower make sure you are on the right side of the bridge for entry, otherwise you will have to walk down to an underpass. You can either take the stairs or the lift up and then walk from one tower to the next. Part of the walkway is clear so if it may not be for anyone who fear heights. We had spectacular views of the city, watched a performance by acrobats, and learned about the history of the bridge. Note - with the London Pass we had a quick entry. If in London, add this to the list of places to visit. The experience was a pleasant surprise. read more

Tower bridge is a beautiful historical sight. We got into the tour with the London pass which also got us fast track entry but on the particular day we went the lady mandating the que said no fast track entry so after waiting 20 minutes in the general que with people who did not have tickets, they opened the fast track and people cut in front even though we had just been told that there wouldn't be a fast track for that specific day. We were in the tour for no more than 20 minutes it was packed and it was just very quick. It was worth the experience but I wouldn't pay to go back in through the tour. read more

Again, with the trickery! London PLEASE get the name right. As any American knows, this gorgeous bastion of bridges is *London* Bridge, not Tower Bridge. Any and every American knows this. What? You mean this *isn't* London Bridge? Wow. Okay. So, I screwed up on the name of the bridge and had to be pointed to the correct bridge I was trying to visit (most Londoners are very familiar with the drill; thanks). But, once I got an eyeful (from a distance), there was little doubt that I had found that which I sought. The Tower Bridge is every bit the icon in real life as it seems in books, pictures and on television. It's simply... grand. You'll feel like a VIP just gazing at it. Before long, in an effort to take the best pictures you can, you'll start to walk it and before too long, you're doing it. You're going across the bridge and -- literally -- adding your footsteps to history. There are very few words than can convey the majesty of this marvel. If you miss out on Tower Bridge, you're doing it wrong. You are. The Tower Bridge is a can't miss during any stay in London. This architectural wonder is absolutely stunning and finding a way to be experience made me feel more than anything else; the Tube, fish & chips, the neighborhoods... all incredible in their own right but nothing -- nothing -- else made me feel as connected and thrilled to be in London as when I spied, walked and experienced Tower Bridge. It's certainly worthy of my 1100th review. read more

The Tower Bridge is majestic indeed! We didn't walk across it in order to save time on that bone chilling day, but we admired it from a short distance when we were touring Tower of London. If you have time, take a stroll on it. If not, just viewing it from the Tower of London is great too. read more

I suffer wanderlust, I always dream of places I want to go see, I surround myself with pictures of things, one of the many things I wanted to see was the Tower Bridge. I find the Tower Bridge to be beautiful and that was just in pictures. When I personally saw the Tower Bridge, my eyes teared up, had to pinch myself to make sure I was really standing in front of it, that my eyes were taking in all that beauty! The detail on every part of the bridge, amazing! If you find yourself in London, go see the Tower Bridge, she is a beauty! read more

It's a must see. It's part of Landon's history and when you cross the river going north you come to the London Tower. You are able to go to the tower's top to have view which I'm sure is impressive. We didn't it do as we went to the top of the Shard which is obviously is taller. The Tower Bridge is architecturally impressive and worth the trip. read more

Beautiful landmark in London that should be on everyone's itinerary if visiting.

This bridge is the perfect night time view of London that you get whenever you think of the things that London may be famous for, or even do a Google search. However, this is actually what people refer to as the "London Bridge" even though it's correct name is the Tower Bridge. The London Bridge is actually one street away further into the city center, and looks like ... any other bridge. Supposedly, the bridge was run-down so London decide to replace it, and some random person in Arizona bought the "run-down" London Bridge?? LOL Regardless, the Tower Bridge is beautiful! It basically was everything I thought it was going be since I had seen so many pictures prior to coming. This is a great area during the day because there's a riverwalk along the side of Thames so you can walk up and down to see different views of the Tower Bridge. Also at night, if you are near the Tower of London area, you can get a fantastic view of the bridge all lit up. So pretty! This is a definite must see both during the day and at night, and especially great if you have a good vantage point to take photos! read more

Definitely the more interesting bridge in London! The Towers Bridge has incredible architecture and a museum devoted to it's history. It's a must visit when you come to London. Stretching over the River Thames, you have a great view of the city on both sides. Watch the ferries, catch the sunset, it's always quite the view. Take a stroll across the bridge and heading in either direction is good food, great dessert, coffee or tea, and more for anyone visiting. Ask a local what they love to do and try that, they always have the best suggestions! read more

Tower Bridge is the one that got away from the Americans! It still remains on the Thames and forms a nice tourist walk from Borough Market to the river, past HMS Belfast, across Tower Bridge and finishing at the Tower of London. It's unmistakeable with the iconic towers and high walkways connecting them. Most of the time, it carries traffic but the bridge will lift for river traffic - lifting times are available from the Tower Bridge website. The other time of year when traffic has to yield is for the London Marathons when tens of thousands of runners stream across one of the most recognisable landmarks in our capital. However, for those who think that it's just a boring walk across, I want to recommend the Tower Bridge exhibition, which is housed inside the bridge itself. You get great views of London from the top of the bridge and you can walk along the upper walkways. There is a lot of information about the history of the bridge, some interactive exhibits and a chance to view the lifting mechanism of the bridge. read more

The Tower Bridge is probably the most beautiful bridge I have ever seen. Some people think this is the London Bridge but the real London Bridge is at Lake Havasu in Arizona and the one that replaced it is ugly. Tower Bridge has two walkways at the top level which I have been meaning to do...maybe next time. I just get so tired of standing in lines to do the touristy things. I took some great photos though and a couple when I was on the upper deck of a bus on the bridge. read more

Who haven't heard about that sightseeing in London.. Definitely, must see! While visiting my friend in London, we came to take a look at the bridge first time in the evening and she let me feel like a tourist - overcrowded, everybody was screaming how beautiful it is. But second time, she brought me here in the early morning, when the city was mostly sleeping - that was something, I will never forget those emotions that I felt after what she told about London's history and the history of the Bridge itself, about it's architecture.. I felt like a real Londoner and was proud to be a part of that magical city at least for some period of time.. read more

Like many others, I thought the Tower Bridge was called the London Bridge. I've been to the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona in the United States. I always pictured (in my mind) the Tower Bridge to be the London Bridge in London. My mistake. The Tower Bridge is truly magnificent! Another one of those iconic symbols of London, England. We viewed the Tower Bridge during the day and during the night. I thought that it looked more impressive in the evening all lighted up. Spectacular!! Words and pictures cannot fully describe how beautiful the Tower Bridge is. Visit it in person! You won't be disappointed! read more

What can I say? It is a historic place. One of the iconic spot not only in London but in the entire world. Wherever you took the picture, from the boat, bus or under the bridge, it is all good. It's a must to see when you visit London for the first time. read more

The 4 stars is for the bridge itself because its so iconic and truly impressive and beautiful in person. I'd give the exhibition tour maybe a 3 star rating. The staff at the entrance were super rude (not the case in the actual museum however). There was a bit of a wait if you didn't have tickets already purchased but we did thankfully so we got right in. It's quite a climb to the top (not St. Paul's Cathedral Dome staircase status though) especially on a humid day. It's neat to say you've climbed this monument and cool to look through the plexiglass floor to the Thames below but is it a skippable thing? Probably. I wasn't too blown away by the museum aspect of it. Lots of gears and gizmos. read more

I've lived in London most of my adult life and nothing compares to the grandeur and functionality of this beautiful bridge. No matter which direction you're facing should you be shooting a selfie or having a memorable addition to your wedding photos, the backdrop adds to the beauty of the shot. When the bridge needs to be raised for a larger vessel to pass through, it's operated very well with minimum disruption caused to the passing traffic. Staff for the overhead glass walkway are polite and good at manoeuvring the public. Lanes are clearly marked on the pedestrian walkways to ensure good flow on both sides and safety is heightened for the pedestrian as both sides of each pedestrian walkway has a heavy barrier to prevent large vehicles from passing through. It's a must-see for any visitor and I feel connected to my home every time I walk over it. read more

I was able to get some good pics on a fittingly overcast day. The Tower Bridge has a lot of history around it. And, it's absolutely beautiful. Why don't they make structures like this anymore? Such detail and craftsmanship. It is situated in the middle section of London and offers terrific westerly views of the River Thames as well as the Tower of London. London is a terrific city to walk around, but it's important to note that if you decide to fit in all of the touristy landmarks, it's a pretty significant walk from Big Ben to the bridge. I would recommend taking a bus tour, which will take you as far as Tower Bridge to the east and Westminster to the west, as well as the arts district to the north. read more
