No queues, inexpensive (L6.00). It's really something up close. Great views (some windows in the walkways open for better picture taking). Feels much bigger inside than it appears from outside. Talk an elevator to top of one tower, walk across walkways, and down the other tower (there's a giftshop at the bottom). Short walk from Tower Hill underground station, past... more

A master piece, indeed. The Tower Bridge is worth crossing, not only for its amazing structure, but also for the view that offers. The River Thames and the Tower Bridge united for ages that will last forever. more

Everything an attraction should be. No gimics, no queues, low cost, value for money, and very interesting plus offering some great photo opportunities. The bridge itself is impressive plus the views are fantastic, the heavy lifting gear is great, I thoroughly enjoyed explaining to my kids the heavy engineering principles that powered the raising of the bridge. more

the bridge is beautiful and we could see it opening to let a big boat pass, but inside, there isn´t too much. just a lot of steps, then you get to the top and the views are great, so it´s well worth for the good pictures that you can take upstairs. more

I was pleasantly surprised by our experience at the Tower Bridge. It was easy to get to, it didnt set us back a ton of money, and my husband loved the engineering exhibit. There are great views of London from the catwalk. It is a good activity to do in the beginning of the day, its quick so there is... more

London was a brief stop-over on our way from New Zealand to Ireland so we were incredibly jet-lagged, sunburnt from few days in Thailand and fuming from BA losing half of our luggage but we had some time to walk around London and the Tower Bridge was definitely a sight worth seeing! We had no guidebook and didn't expect to... more

The Tower Bridge exhibition, in itself is a let off. Few items on display & divided into 2 parts - - one has to walk to the other side of the bridge for end of the exhibition. However, if one wants to get a view of the Tower from the top of the bridge, is okay. So, if one decides... more

For strange high level views over London this is a great place. If you are a person interested in how the bridge moves aside for shipping this is a must. The inside offers viewing of the previous hydraulic mechanisms, a tribute to Victorian and early 20th century engineering. All indoors. Good visit with children. more

The best time to see the Tower Bridge is at night. The whole bridge is lit up and the view is just amazing. Walk, don't take a cab, to get the full experience. more
