Tower Bridge: London sightseeing tips

Tower Bridge · History and landmarks

Enjoy the landmark from the riverbank or visit its high-level walkways. For photographs, consider the south bank around Potters Fields as well as the bridge itself. An interior visit needs more time than a quick crossing, with towers and engine rooms to explore. Check the official lift schedule if you hope to see the bridge open.
