Tower Bridge is one of those postcard-perfect London landmarks that everyone admires from afar, but not too many people have actually appreciated it right up close and even inside. Turns out it’s not just a pretty face, and the views from the top aren’t too shabby either.
If you fancy getting up close and personal with this historic bridge, you can book to explore its insides for a day out of facts and thrills. That means things like soaking up the secrets of the Victorian Engine Rooms, or checking out panoramic views of the capital from the West Walkway. There’s also the Glass Floor, where you can gaze into the depths of the Thames and watch the boats go by, all from 42 meters above water. Oh, and it’s also dog-friendly. How about that for your daily dog walk?
For those with little ones, it’s worth visiting on one of the Family Activity Days on select Tuesday and Saturdays throughout the summer – where you can do fun things like origami boat building. Tower Bridge also offers a range of guided tours, so come prepared with lots of tricky questions.
Anyway, if this all sounds good and you fancy a visit with some guaranteed Insta-worthy views and plenty of nerdy facts, you should probably start planning your visit now.
