Tower Bridge is one of my favorite London Landmark! Every time I come to London, I always stopped by to see it. Today, my friend encouraged me to go up and see the walkways at the top of the towers. Wow! They are so amazing and they have some cool views! We liked taking pictures on the see through floor and using the mirror on the ceiling. There's also some interesting historical facts posted and the engine room is also cool to see. Definitely a must see! read more

We almost didn't stop for this attraction. I'd brought it up to my husband since we skipped Tower Bridge on our first visit, but he seemed less than enthused when I mentioned it, so I didn't expect that we'd get to visit. He actually suggested paying the money and going in to explore. We had just walked the length of the bridge, and I figured we'd move on to another spot after that, but he surprised me by heading toward the front door. It could've been the fact that it was freezing with a biting wind that day, but whatever it was, I was happy to get a chance to see the innards. We had just purchased our tickets and were heading to the elevator when we were approached by an employee, who asked if we'd be interested in a free tour. Anybody who knows me knows that I love me a tour - guided, audio, free, you name it - so of course I jumped on that offer. My husband was a bit slower to accept (I think he thought we'd be with a large group of tourists, and he was probably a bit cynical about the "free" part), but went along with it for my sake. Turns out it was a private tour, with the sweetest girl you'd ever want to know. Our guide was named Anna, and she was so much fun to talk to. I asked a ton of questions and only stumped her on one. She perfectly balanced being our personal tour guide while giving us space to view exhibits at our own pace. If we ever had a question, she was nearby and ready to answer. She took us through the inside of the Tower, pointing out interesting bits of the building itself and of the city of London. She was funny and engaging and made it easy to absorb all the history we were exposed to, between her talks and the placards scattered throughout the Tower. It really is quite fascinating hearing about the history of the Tower and the surrounding areas. I loved seeing the old photos and getting the reference points of where things are in relation to where we were standing. Anna even got most of my nerdy-nerd-girl references those times when I had a freak-out moment based on something I'd read or watched. My favorite part of the tour was by far the glass bridges. My husband is not a fan of heights, so I know it wasn't easy for him to walk over the bridges, or to sit with me (or lie down with me) on one while taking pictures, so I give him props for his intestinal fortitude. It's quite spectacular seeing the city flow by right under your feet. This is a great place to visit and learn about London's history. And if you can get a tour, you should absolutely ask for Anna. read more

I am fascinated by Tower Bridge. Since the first time I visited London, something about this bridge captivated me and I can't shake the fact that it is my favorite thing there. The beauty of the colors from the gray, white, and blue while it stands in all its grandeur on the Thames River. If you get the chance to visit this unbelievable city full of history, make sure you check out the Tower Bridge. It is also located right next to the Tower of London. You can take great pictures with the bridge in the background by the Tower of London area, and the closer you walk towards the bridge you can have closer shots and also of you walking under it. They have an experience where you can pay and walk over the top of the bridge as well which is quite cool. This last time it was on my list of things to do, however, the weather had other plans for me. If you have better weather than me, I would highly suggest that if you aren't scared of heights. read more

The Tower Bridge in London is so Beautiful. Our hotel was only 10 minutes away from Tower Bridge. So I passed by here every day when I'm in London. The bridge is very busy at day or night. Many people are walking on the bridge daytime or nighttime. Very good spot for photos. I took a lot of pictures on the bridge and on both side of the river banks too! read more

Funny enough, this bridge is more popular than the London Bridge which is located across from the Tower Bridge. A sight to see and walk across, this bridge offers beautiful views of the water, River Thames, and surrounding buildings. Beautiful architect and not too crowded to walk across among others. Definitely stop by to walk along this iconic bridge. read more

One of the most photographed bridges. Because everyone thinks it's London Bridge. Technically everyone is right - it's in London and it's a bridge. :) and the actual London bridge is pretty boring looking and unimpressive. Whereas Tower Bridge is striking and majestic. It was raining the day I came here and freezing cold. I love glass floors. There's one inside Tower Bridge but admission is 9 pounds. Either I was too cheap to pay, too wet, or figured there would be too much water on the glass panels to get good photos. Whatever the reason I didn't go inside. So I'll have to go again the next time I visit. read more

Tower Bridge - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - London, XGL

Tower Bridge, close to the Tower of London, goes across the River Thames, albeit it can be confused with London Bridge, it is possibly even equally as iconic, connecting Tower Hamlets on the north, to Southwark on the south. It opened 124 years ago in the late 1800s and is Grade I listed. The bridge does get really busy, as people do tend to walk along it at all hours of the day whether its locals using the bridge for their daily commute, or tourists wanting to get a glimpse of London. At night especially the bridge is vibrant, it's big and bold and does stand out and it is rather cool, much so it's even been copied to an extent being the basis of a similar bridge in Suzhou, China. The exhibition area could have been a lot clearer and better overall, but still, this really does make the River Thames that little bit better, it is a beautiful building being truly Victorian, to the point I'd even say people confuse it with London Bridge because of how big, bold and victorian it is, it's possibly even more impressive than London Bridge to that extent. 4* - An impressive and iconic landmark one must see while in the capital of England. read more

Always thought this was London Bridge as it's always featured in films, but in actuality it's called the Tower Bridge. Yup, took me coming to London to figure that one out. This is probably the most beautiful bridge I've ever seen. No joke. It's not very long, and you can probably walk it back and forth within 10-15 minutes, you really want to take it in and enjoy it. I'm always surprised what us humans can accomplish at times, but this is one monument that I really enjoyed seeing. Well worth it. read more

A same day loan is basically given to the customers against their next payday. read more

Well now this is a cool bridge. Who ever designed this mixed housing with suspension with beauty. I only walked over it, but they do offer a tour so I might have to think about that the next time I come. There was a bridge guy who kept people moving on one end not allowing you to take a picture. Do not fret. You can get awesome shots in the middle and throughout or even on the other end. So don't face the wrath of bridge patrol, just keep walking and get your picture 30 seconds later with no fear and joy. read more

Tower Bridge is one of those breathtaking man-made sites that you just want to stare at forever. It is magical and enchanting and transports you back to a long ago time, even though the bridge hasn't been up for quite that long. You can walk across, and take as many photos as you'd like. I didn't go on a tour, just looked at my leisure. Catch the beautiful scenery from the bridge. The views are incredible. I didn't get to see the bridge in action, but I was ok with that. I'll just have to go back! read more

As part of our "London Pass" package, I was excited to check out the Tower Bridge, especially because this was one of the attractions that had fast track entry for London Pass holders, so we got to skip the long line and go straight to the front. You take a large elevator up to the top of the bridge and can walk across each side of the bridge. Both have glass floors, so you can look down on the traffic and water below you (a little freaky if you are scared of heights). One of the sides also has a mirror ceiling, making it easier to get the perfect selfie of you high above the traffic below. There are some great pictures and descriptive text throughout the bridge, giving you great background on how the bridge became what it is today. I highly recommend checking this out! read more

Its a historic bridge on the east-ish side of London and a result of diligent architectural endeavours. Should visit at least once if you are in London. You can also step down from the bridge and sit right outside Tower of London, facing river Thames and a beautiful side view of the bridge and enjoy the day. And yeah this is not London bridge! read more

Who doesn't love a bridge that looks like a giant toy? It's one of my favorite landmarks in the city, and makes a great background for your selfies and Instagram pics, day or night; it looks far more impressive at night, however. It's just a short walk away from London Bridge Station, and surrounded by dozens of restaurants, cafes, and bars on both sides of the bank, so you won't be at a loss for places to eat after tuckering yourself out taking all those pictures. They're not cheap, though, so keep that in mind. On the north bank, you also have the Tower of London, a popular tourist attraction; which, depending on when you're visiting, may already be open to receiving tourists again, post-pandemic frenzy. On that side of the bank is also where the cluster of tall & impressive buildings is located, so if you time it right and visit during the evening hours, you'll have the perfect backdrop to gaze at while enjoying a rest on the other side of the river; and yes, it offers the perfect backdrop for selfies. The way I like to get the most out of my days when in this area is to start my walk from the London Eye near Waterloo Station on the opposite side of the bank around early to mid-afternoon, do some sight-seeing along the way, (trust me, there is a LOT to see), stop by the Tate Modern and maybe grab a drink at the Swan Pub next to the Globe Theatre, grab a cheap bite at Borough Market, window shop at the many stores along the way, grab a slightly-more-expensive bite at one of the swankier restaurants looking out at Tower Bridge, and rest on the steps of the bank while gazing out as the bridge and the city come alive with vibrant lights, giving it all a far different look and feel than one experiences in the daytime. Don't worry, as overwhelming as all that sounded, there's no way you can get lost, as long as you continue to follow the river and don't deviate too far from the bank. And should you decide not to stop anywhere along the way, the entire walk from one end to the other shouldn't take you longer than half an hour; 40 minutes, if you're a "stroller" like me. From there, it's a hop-skip-and-a-step to London Bridge Station, which can get you to just about anywhere you need to go. So, would I recommend visiting Tower Bridge on your trip to London? Yes. Yes, I would. read more

Tower Bridge =/= London Bridge London Bridge isn't much. Tower Bridge is the largest landmark bridge in London. It's right between City Hall and Tower of London. The sight is a must on your bucket list. The view is spectacular. It's better from afar than actually on it. Maybe because there were construction going . It's also worth seeing at night. Great piece of design and architecture. I'm not sure if it's worth the £10 to visit the engine room and exhibition. Not many people were doing the tour. read more

There's over 300 reviews already...I'll just say £9 is a bit excessive for something that only takes 30min to visit, though its much nicer than my native San Diego's boring Coronado Bridge...but before you visit...

Eat on the boat while trying to admire the Thames's not-so-great scenery... £24.50 1:30-3:30 Tower of London...have a coffee or tea break afterwards. £9 4:00pm-Close Tower Bridge...this doesn't take long to visit, maybe 30-45 minutes. £89.50 TOTAL Total Savings £89.50 - £49 = £40.50($62ish) That's what makes this attraction worth the money...for almost half price! If you have more time and for a bit more £££££ you could buy the 2 or 3 day pass to see Windsor Castle(£19.20) and Kensington Palace(£17.50) for more savings. read more

The most beautiful bridge in London is a site in the day time and right next to the Tower of London. The Shard is also close by along with bars, pubs and restaurants on either end of the bridge. Remember, this is NOT London bridge. :) In the evening time though, Tower Bridge is lit up with lights and is absolutely gorgeous!

Another majestic, beautiful and representative structure of London and one of the more iconic ones for sure! There are few bridges in the world that are more iconic and picturesque than Tower Bridge. What's great is that leading up to the bridge there are so many great spots along the Thames to take photos of it so don't forget to not only get shots when you're close to or on the bridge, but also take advantage of those far away shots on the north and south sides of it. On the day we walked the bridge, we decided to walk from Millennium Bridge to Tower Bridge and it presented us with many photos opportunities as we got closer and closer. In addition, the Shard and Tower of London are not too far off, so there is plenty to see around the bridge too. Also, do expect plenty of tourist foot traffic along the way as this is one of the more popular attractions to see in London so don't be surprised at how many people are walking along the Thames of both sides of the bridge. read more

The Tower Bridge is just a short walk from the Tower of London. Since we got into London a little late and many of the museums and touristy things close around 4 or 5 we hurriedly made our way over to the Tower Bridge. The bridge is well maintained and brilliantly painted in a bright blue color and gold on the outside. It's actually really nicely decorated. The bridge is a working bridge so hundreds or even thousands of cars pass over it every day and sometimes the bridge goes up to let boats pass. We used the London pass to get in and skipped the line and take the elevator up to the main floor. There are informational signs and interactive media all over the place and staff available for commentary. In both towers there are sections cut in the floor made of glass where you can gaze down at the cars below or whatever else may be passing by. Everyone seemed to want to lay down on the floor and take a photo. It wasn't overly crowded at all anyway in either of the towers which helped us to enjoy the experience more. We were able to get almost a full panoramic view of downtown London and all the key sites. I wasn't overly impressed though by the whole experience. Granted it's a big touristy thing as well as historical, but I just didn't have my socks knocked off. Someone noted to get the London pass. Really make your choice wisely with the London Pass because we got the 3 day pass with the Oystercard and I will say the Oystercard (transportation card for the London transportation system) was one of the best parts. A lot of the museums have odd hours or short hours or aren't open on certain days or are far away from downtown where you have to take a train which takes time out of the day. So unless you plan your day just right, you might not be able to get to more than 5-8 places in a day. London Pass has hundreds of locations but you really probably won't make it to at least half of them and the pass itself is somewhat expensive. Maybe pick the places that you want to see and see how much financially it costs to go to those sites. Plus, most of the art & history museums are free in London. read more

I, like all Americans mistook this bridge for London Bridge. Although I never got to see the London Bridge, I was quite happy to imagine this as its more famous counterpart. Since I saw it at night, its charm was greater because of being lit up. The place is very photo-friendly so all you photo-hogs will love it! The walk along the bridge is very scenic and pleasant, we were also blessed with good weather which is rare in London, I hear. Alot of tourists, runners, lovers strolling past you cuddling and taking pictures. There are restaurants and small bakeries/cafes where you can rest and grub at. Definitely a must see if you are visiting London. P.s: Its also very close to the Borough market area which is London's biggest food market. read more

The iconic bridge of London where you can get many pictures from different angles for free. Also there aren't too many tourists here so it's not overly packed, but there are a lot of locals who use this bridge for their commute. You can even climb the tower if you'd like, but it does cost a fee. I didn't go up the tower but I did take pictures from several angles and crossed the bridge a couple times. It's so unique and one of the special things unique to London! read more

Let's move to Europe and try to fix my flashbacks about the Tower Bridge. I have been couple times in London and weather was soooo terrible! Very rainy. But I found only one sunny day to have a long walk around city center. The tower bridge is very significant place: huge history, beautiful and at the same time massive construction and nice view around. You can choose the best way for you how to explore this spot: walk around, bike trip, bus tour, helicopter flight, boat tour, etc. I preferred just walk around and eat some ice cream :). The bridge is open every day from 10 am to 5-30 pm. Don't forget to check a bridge lift time and make a fantastic video of it. read more

It's an iconic architectural masterpiece. It's a palace rising out of the river or a fortress dark and ominous. It's grand like few other bridges are. It's a one of a kind part suspension and part bascule. It opens 3 times per day. The times can be checked on the bridges website. Easy to get to by the tube (hop off at the Westminster Station). If you have a London Pass it can be used here. Costing 8 pounds at the Bridge ticket booth, discount tickets are available online for 20% off. 2 for 1 coupons are also sometimes available. It's also on the Hop On, Hop Off bus tour. The Tower Bridge Exhibition Tour includes: a video about how it got started and it's design, walkway on the top with wonderful views and information posters about the bridge and other bridges around the world, and a tour of the engine room that opens the bridge. You can be Photo shopped in front of the bridge. read more

Always a nice sight We've been in London before, but still we come down to the Thames every time to take some pics of this beautiful bridge. It's surely a must-do and an impressive sight every time, never gets old. We didn't walk on it or took a closer look this year, just enjoyed the sight of it and took some photos. We always like the several spots down at The Tower Of London. Perfect location to get a good look of the Tower Bridge. Even though it's always busy here, it's suprisingly easy to get some good pics without other visitors in the frame. Great too to ask some other visitors to take a pic of yourselfs (a Selfie-Stick is just not the same). read more

Tower Bridge - Tower Bridge at night - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - London, XGL

Although the Tower Bridge is stunning to look at from the outside, you should definitely do the experience. To get to the top, you can either wait for the elevator or take the stairs. I decided to take the stairs to get a little workout in lol It was only about a couple minute walk up but I wouldn't recommend it if you get tired fast When you get to the top, you can sit down and watch a video that describes the designing and building of the Tower Bridge. Next, you start the walk across. The walk has signs and pictures of the history of the bridge and how it stands today. The coolest part, besides the view of the city, is the glass floor. You can see straight down which was cool. Some people were scared but trust me, it's completely safe. When you finish the bridge, head to the railings by the road which is a nice picture spot to take of you and the bridge. read more

Another must see while in London. Actually it is one of those things that you can't avoid but seeing while in London. My first night in the city I decided to take a walk around the area near my hotel and I ended up here. Tower Bridge at night definitely has a different vibe than during the busy rush of the day. Almost a serenity to it when most of the people are turning in for the night. During the day, however, is a different story. This bridge is nonstop busy. Another London Pass jump the line site which gets you to the top much faster. Once at the top they ask that you sit and watch a short video about the history of the bridge itself. After the video it is like a do as you please tour. From the room that you watched the video in you make your way across a walkway to the other tower. Along the way you are free to take in the skyline of London from all angles. But, and I am sure lots of people say this, look down. If not, you will trip over people. Part of the walkway is glass. Having a glass walkway is a fun touch, but also a bit of a hazard. In our selfie cultured world loads of people will lay on the walkway and take a selfie of themselves while making it look like they are suspended in air over the bridge and water. Me, no, I didn't take one. I was one of those fools that videoed myself walking over the glass walkway. Another thing to note about these walkways, if you expect to cross while the bridge is up, forget it, you can't, there will be people surrounding the glass portion and you will have to wait. Let it be noted that there are two walkways adjoining the two towers, but for some reason when I was there, you could only use the one to cross between towers. But also note, that if you are smart, that does not mean the other walkway is out of service, just closed on the one side. Use your noggin, make your way to the other side and come down the other walkway. Less people, but photo possibilities. Once to the other side make your way downward while taking in the history of the bridge some more. Once outside follow the arrows to the engine rooms that work the bridge. You can see how the bridge use to work back in the time of manual labor and visit the gift shop. Great experience and one, if you are keeping track of time, that doesn't take too long to traverse. read more

This iconic piece of Victorian engineering, completed in 1894, is a symbol of London's greatness. Its two towers contain the mechanism for raising the roadway to permit large ships to pass under. The towers are made of a supporting steel framework clad in stone. When raised, the road creates a space. We visited this during the day. The outside portion is a must SEE while in London. Beautiful architecture. Free and open daily. Fun fact: The original London Bridge, built in 1830, was dismantled brick by brick and relocated to Lake Havasu City, AZ in 1967.
