We visited the Tower Bridge on a whim as we were walking across the Bridge and thought it would be fun to climb to the top. Climb you must--if there are lifts they are not apparent. The views are nice, but honestly the views from the Monument and the Eye or even St. Paul's gallery are just as good. The... more

The bridge itself is of course quite impressive and it's free to admire. The Tower Bridge Exhibition, on the other hand, is not free. If it were free, it would be worth visiting. However, for 7 pounds (if I correctly recall the price) you don't get much. LOTS of stairs to climb. Lots of useful information about the bridge, however... more

If you have pounds and time to kill in London, check out the Tower Bridge Exhibition, including the inside of the bridge as well as the engine room. It's not a must-see, as you can enjoy the sight of the bridge itself from thousands of points around the city, but it's worth some time if you have it to spare. more

Something about Tower Bridge just captures my heart every time I see it. You an get wonderful pictures any time of day, but it's especially beautiful from the Tower of London at sunset. Walk across the bridge at night and take in the beauty that is London! more

Well, there are some buildings that are concidered a city's landmark, their presence is well-known to residents and visitors alike, but sometimes even if they are a familiar figure to people, lots of these people don't have a clue about their history and the facts about them. I guess Tower Bridge may be one of those landmarks! That's why Tower... more

There is something for everyone on the Tower Bridge. The pros: It is easily accessible with no long wait in line. It is also inexpensive. The walkways between the Towers afford excellent views of the surrounding city and river. There are also numerous interactive displays and such about how the bridge works, in addition to displays on the history behind... more

The Tower Bridge is a beautiful monument that's fun to walk accross. Go down alongside the Thames for some memorable pictures. I would highly recomend timing your visit when they show the bridge going up and down. You can find the lift schedule on the internet. The exhibition cost L6.00 per adult. It's cool to say you've walked accross the... more

This hundred year old marvel draws everyone along the Thames to it like a magnet. Its majesty and beauty are unmistakable. A stroll across the 800 ft span is a treat, admiring both the iconic design as well as the beautiful views of both riverbanks. The Tower Bridge Exhibition is a worthwhile diversion housed in the twin towers of the... more

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
