The combined ticket was great. The times were right, which was particularly important for us as we had some time to plan our own trip with the tour group on the day of arrival. We were lucky that the weather was fine. Tower Bridge was impressive. The glass panel in particular, which provided a view of the Thames from above, was a highlight for me. It wasn't too crowded, so you had peace and quiet and time to really take it all in. Yes, and what can I say, the Shard was the icing on the cake. A fantastic view at sunset across to the illuminated London. It was a dream. The staff were friendly everywhere. We spent almost 2 hours and couldn't get enough of it. I would come back anytime. Absolutely recommendable.

It was a really impressive experience to see how the bridge opens, through the glass walkaways. The waiting time to get inside the bridge was around 10 or 15 minutes - so it was fine- i expected more. The only thing was, that the engine romms were closed, this evening - so we had to come back the next day. But ist was worth it! The engine romms were really intetesting and there was a lot of information - also for the kids!

The visit was amazing! No need to queue with our entry tickets, we directly got in. We were lucky enough to see the opening of the bridge from the glass platform, wonderful experience ! On the day of our visit, there were two openings of the bridge so we could also see the bridge opening from the outside before entering the engine room. Amazing views on the whole city from the bridge glass platform.

Explore London's iconic Tower Bridge and Engine Room at your own pace, to get first-hand knowledge about this structural marvel.

Walk on Tower Bridge's 42-meter-high glass floor to look over the Thames, and see the tallest building in the UK - the 72-storeyed Shard or the high-rise financial center Canary Wharf.

Go on to the ingenious mechanics that power Tower Bridge's bascules in the historic Engine Rooms and discover how the bridge works and the people who worked there.

Did you know that more than 80 people were needed to maintain the engines and raise the Bridge?

Fantastic feat of engineering. Really enjoyed the visit but felt the offering needed a bit of context. We checked in and were pointed towards the stairs, no further staff interaction. Lots of information but it could benefit from some interactive media etc. The glass decks are excellent.

It was very easy to gain access with our pre booked tickets. It was very informative and walking on the glass floor was brilliant. The views were breathtaking. The engine room was amazing to see how it all used work. Would definitely recommend to do this

The queue was small and the lift was a welcome surprise! The staff were lovely, the information about the bridge and engine room was just enough without being overbearing. The glass floor is scary but brilliant and the whole experience was wonderful

Soar above London
