Wonderful bridge. Amazing architecture and vibrant colors. Very interesting area as well coming from the Tower of London to the city. Very interesting activity - people watching and observing the boats pass by. Comfortable pedestrian areas and you can tour the tower as well.

Classic London landmark. Symbol of London and the UK. Surrounded my large open spaces - free seating. Great views and relaxed atmosphere. Good photographic views from virtually all stand points.It’s not a visit to London without this.Local exhibit of photography along the Thames.

Tower Bridge is one of the most beautiful and special landmarks in London it is popular with tourists as well as local.If you go to tower bridge you could to go inside the tower bridge on the top floor and see the open glass floor.or take lots of selfies on the side of the tower or you could go hoarsely down steps and take close-up photos or have a nice walk.

What a bit of fantastic history in one of the most famous bridges in the world, cheap to get in and it’s filled with nostalgia and the views are great at the top especially walking over the glass!!! Definitely do this 👍🏻

Definitely my favourite place in London. It’s like a home to many on just glancing at this magnificent structure. Visiting the tower is a must do if you are around the place. This is probably one of the best iconic landmarks of London both for residents and the tourists alike. Such a peace when you come a little late in the night else one could also witness too much crowd and noisy parties.

Tower bridge is one off the iconic landmarks of London. Tickets can be bought online or on the spot. The staff is nice and helpful. Theres queue to visit it and before going up bags are checked. To get up you can use the lift or the steps ...which is better since you can get a better glimpse of the inside. The glass floor walk shows how high the towers are. The view is nice, its glass side walls with small windows open to take better photos. At the other end of the bridge you can take a photo of yourself and print it as a post card can also be sent on your e-mail for £4.00. Its surprising how much space is inside the towers even on the steps. In the engine rooms you can see how the mechanism really works. Just follow the blue line outside the tower. The shop is right next to the engine room. With public transport using the tube get off at London Bridge station. Restaurants are very close and not expensive. Other places very close and worth visiting...HMR Belfast, The Shard or Tower of London.

I was a bit disappointed with the Tower bridge tour . There were not many of interesting facts available to learn, they felt dry and very limited. With such an iconic monument something more exciting couldve been cleated as there so much more can be told about The Bridge

A completely fascinating visit. The climb up the 200+ stairs is worth the effort, as you get stunning views of London and a glass floor to lay on 33 meters above the road!Well worth a visit if you love history and engineering. The engine room is amazing and gives a real taste of how we used to do things in the not too distant past.

One of the most iconic sights of London.Id highly recommend taking the time to go up onto the glass walkway and then visit the engine rooms.The lift was out of service so we climbed the 206 steps up to the glass walkway!Its a great experience standing on a glass floor and looking down on the traffic crossing the bridge below. Also, the views are very good and the whole experience is excellent value for money.

Amazing experience that is not that well known. Being able to go to the top of the tower and experience the glass floor was amazing. On the way up there is lots of information about the tower being built.The engine rooms were great too, amazing to see one still in working order.Great value for money at only £10 for an adult.

It was nice. Experienced the bridge opening to let a vessel through. If you’re a tourist, you will really love this. You know, famous tower bridge opening. Wow. But if you’re not a tourist, don’t bother. Go about your business. It’s boring.

The Tower Bridge Experience was great! Lots of stairs but lifts also available. The glass floor was awesome! The engine rooms were so interesting too and a short walk from the bridge towers. The whole tour took around an hour. In between touring the bridge towers and exploring the engine rooms we also got to watch the bridge open to allow a boat through. Great memories!

Review №18

Its definitely an experience to do in London, but theres surprisingly little inside the towers to actually see. The view from the walkway is not much different from the view below and the glass walkway is about 5m long. There are some facts dotted around on walls about how it was built, but theres not a lot of detail. The engine room was more interesting, going into the lives of some of the people who lived/worked there

Review №19

Beautiful bridge! Definitely one of them attractions that’s better to look at rather than be there, walking over the bridge is really good but as everyone knows, to see the bridge in its full glory then you need to be off the bridge to take in the view! You can pay to go up high and walk over a glass panel which is something I didn’t have time to do so no doubt that’s an experience although it did look pricey on the price list.

Tower Bridge - You have seen it in photos and in numerous films. It is London’s most famous bridge, but it’s not London Bridge (from the nursery rhyme.) London Bridge is a bit further upriver and is pretty plain by comparison. This bridge, on the other hand, is magnificent and well worth a visit. Spend some time here and indulge into some of London´s exciting history.

Stayed in the Tower hotel and really enjoyed this area of London. St. Katharines marina, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are great areas to visit and watch the world go by. We also booked the free hour up the walkie talkie building and enjoyed the brilliant views from there which is a short walk.

What a view, what a memory to cherish. This is the most iconic place to be if you ever Visit London. This bridge is every photographer dream, it looks stunning from every view or angle. Got a chance to go inside this bridge till the top where they have a glass floor, if u are brave then you can walk on top of the glass at 90 meter height. Visit the engine room where you can see how the bridge lifts using hydraulic pressure. This bridge lifts on an average 700 to 800 times a year and if you are lucky enough then you can see that happening even today.

This is my favourite bridge. I have driven over it many times. Yesterday was the first time I walked over it. I took my kids to the Tower Bridge experience and we all loved it. It was such a privilege to climb the tower, travel across the walkway, and see the original engine room. This is a historic landmark, well worth a visit. The tickets are very reasonably priced. Nearest station is London Bridge.

What a beautiful architecture. This bridge is awesome and one of the most famous landmark in London. From the bridge you could see a lot of historical buildings of London like the tower of London, St Paul Cathedral , etc... This bridge have the capability to lift parts of the bridge to allow big ships to pass through. What an amazing engineering marvel.

A must see if your in London. Easy to book online and good value for money. Lifts available if needed. Friendly helpful staff available giving stories about the bridge and its history. Fantastic views at the top and for the brave you can walk across the glass Bridge at the top. Engine room included in the ticket price. Fun for children and adults.

An amazing landmark of London. If you are lucky, you might see the bridge opened up as well. Also, go there during sunset - its not very busy, but youll get a spectacular view of the city with a sunset in the backround.

Ran over it for the London Marathon on Sunday 4th Oct 2021, then went back the next day for more photos! I love that this historic monument was right round the corner from my hotel, and you can almost wander over it by accident, as it is so much just part of the London infrastructure.

One of the most beautiful bridges in the world and one of the best sites in London. Visited multiple times inside out. The inside is interesting as it shows parts of the mechanism etc... The visit could be a bit more comprehensive and give more info, including the contextualised history of it. Nevertheless, its a spectacular landmark. Great views from the top.

Tower Bridge is always important to visit while you are travelling around City of London, as it is one of the most amazing bridges in the world. We had wonderful moments with my friend and her Mum. However had little disappointment as the part between bridge and Castle now been closed and only people who by tickets to enter Castle can use that path .

I forget how beautiful London is when its nightfall and the city lights switch on! Something is in the air, breeze, warmth, cosy feeling, quite natter of people. Really surprised and pleased with the number of places to eat and grab beverages at all price ranges. Low budget or a fancy night out.

Review №42

We visited Tower bridge around 10am on a Sunday morning so no queues and straight into the experience. Normally I believe there is a lift which takes you to the top of Tower Bridge but on the day we visited (8/8/21) you had to take the stairs up. All 260 of them! So can be quite a climb but there is a couple of points you can have a break on the way up if needed.Great views from the walkways windows at the top of Tower Bridge and also great views straight down from the glass bottom part of walkways as you can see from the photos Ive attached. Staff were very helpful and friendly too.Quite a short experience. We were up there for around half an hour but there is no time limit and could stay longer.

Review №45

Been over it numerous times but never up, so that had to change! You start off with a film, before going over the walkway, you then also get to have a walk to the southern end of the bridge & out along the pavement & under the bridge on the south side to see the engine rooms as part of the tickets, which we did go & have a look at but I’d say they aren’t a must see personally.

Review №46

A very impressive piece of architecture and engineering. However don’t take any notice of published times when the bridge will open. I came especially to see it and it did not open at 10am nor 11am as stated on their information screen on the bridge and web site.

I question if there is a better place to visit in London. My family absolutely love this place. We had relatives come to visit from Germany and the absolutely loved the experience here at Tower Bridge. The bridge actually lifts and opens up to allow large vessels navigate along the River Thames. This does not happen often but it’s worth finding out just to witness spectacle of British Architecture and history. Highly recommended for all visitors.

Learned facts about its history, construction and the way it works throughout the tour. The views from the top are great, especially the floor window on the corridor. It is easy to navigate thanks to the signaling. We enjoyed the visit! (only issue we had was that one of our kiddos needed the toilet while we were in the tower and these were closed - due to covid, I imagine. Luckily there were toilets open in the engine rooms)

Nice to be able to go up the towers and across the walkway. The glass section of floor in the walkway gives good views of the road below and a good vantage point for watching the bridge lift. Engine room is interesting to see, maybe next time well book the tour and see the bastule chambers too!

Review №68

The Tower Bridge is grand to behold from the outside, and really interesting from the inside. The pedestrian walkway above the road has transparent glass tiles that let us see the roadway and river below, the ceiling has mirrors so one can look up and see oneself apparently floating over the road and river. It is stunning. The engine room machinery is worth viewing too, just does not seem possible to view it while in operation.

This is an impressive piece of architecture and a good way to cross the river. A lot of American tourists that I have met thought this was the famous London bridge, while it is a London bridge, its not the London bridge, which, architecturally, is a lot less interesting (but it works as a means to cross the river)

Another historic site of merit in London, it’s still a delight to walk across, pick your time wisely as the evening sun makes for fantastic views of the Thames, The Tower and the Bridge itself. These were taken around 9:30-10pm on my phone in July 2021

This is not a review of any organized tour, so if you are looking for that, I would advise going to the tour company for feedback. This is just about the Tower Bridge. From a very early age, this bridge has always stood for England and more specifically for London. The fact that is used just like any other pedestrian or traffic throughway is a testament to just how enduring English history and England present day co-exist. The area around Tower Bridge has grown to become a hub of all peoples that make up the London fabric. Whether you are viewing from the (old) Tower of London or from the (new) city offices, this bridge is a link to everything we have grown to love about London.

Most popular icon of London, very busy tourist attraction, you will enjoy looking at the bridge by walking, riding over bus, sailing on cruise or by air, it has historical background for London as financial hub of UK and rest of world.

Review №83

This place carries in itself a lot of fear realizing what was shared with the prisoners many years ago!!! History, of course, in combination with the popularity of this place, has always led me into a stupor only for the reason that people like places where not good happened but evil! Unfortunately this is a fact!

Review №84

The bridge, its architecture as well as how it was build is totally impressive to me.... especially because it was build in the 19th century and opened in 1894. There is a lot of respect to tribute when it comes to this spectacular master piece.

So glad to finally have seen the Tower in all its splendour. What a great day out for all ages, Covid safety measures in place so felt really comfortable.Watched a Knights Tale, very humerous and well acted. A couple of buildings not open due to access and restrictions for social distancing.Well worth a visit and value for money. Cafe/restaurant serving selection of hot/cold food. We had drinks and cake, there is a good choice.The cheeky ravens are entertaining, their daily purpose is to find what food they can, from handouts to selection from the bins.
