One of London's most famous landmarks, Tower Bridge is bursting with history. With this Tower Bridge entry ticket you wander the high-level walkway and discover its story through interactive displays and exhibitions.

The glass floor

The bridge's exquisite glass floor is one of its best-known features. Test your nerves on the walkway 42 metres above the Thames as you take in Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece St Paul's Cathedral, venue of the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, along with historic Greenwich and the world-famous London Eye.

The Victorian Engine Rooms

Travel back to the Victorian age in the Engine Rooms, home to the original steam engines that raised the bridge's bascules. Seeing them up close is the best way to understand the engineering behind the bridge.
