They have pictures of bridges from around the world with a bit of information on each. Then there's pictures of stuff around London with no explaination. I found the engine room boring, but if you're into looking... More

We bought a ticket to enter Tower Bridge because my husband is an engineer and loves to see how things work. Our ticket gained us access to the exhibitions inside (some videos explaining the history and construction, photos and timelines for both Tower Bridge and other innovative bridges around the world, a very cute presentation--via story board type posters- of...
