Nearly, 40,000 people use it every single day as it is the perfect spot to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of London. Deeply rooted in history, the Tower Bridge continues to successfully educate people on its glorious past.

Not only this, the Victorian Engine Rooms with two authentic steam engines from back in time is a must-see. As you walk along these walkways made of glass, you’ll have the most mesmerising view of boats cruising down the Thames, and taxis passing beneath your feet, creating a memory for life.
