Overview
Take a trip to Tower Bridge on your England Vacation
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge spanning the River Thames. Constructed between 1886 and 1894 to improve access to the East End of London, the bridge is a testament to British engineering and architectural excellence. Its Gothic style complements the aesthetics of the nearby Tower of London.
The bridge has two towers, each 213 ft (65 m) high. You can cross the bridge in about five minutes by taking the pedestrian walkways on each side. With a ticket, you can go inside the two towers and through the walkways linking the towers. Part of the walkways are made of glass, allowing you to see the traffic and river below. You will also have access to the historic engine rooms that lift the bridge's bascules. Tower Bridge is open on all days from 9.30 am to 6 pm.
