Highlights
London, a city of historic grandeur and modern charm, is dotted with landmarks that narrate tales from different eras. Yet, few structures blend architectural splendor, engineering innovation, and rich history as seamlessly as the iconic Tower Bridge. Spanning the River Thames and adorned with its gothic towers, this world-famous bascule and suspension bridge has been a symbol of London since the 19th century. If you’re planning a visit or just fascinated by its grandeur, let’s dive into the must-see highlights of Tower Bridge.
- The Majestic Twin Towers: Rising 213 feet above the Thames, the bridge’s twin towers are a visual treat. Their Victorian Gothic style, adorned with intricate stonework and turrets, provide an imposing gateway to the heart of the capital. You’ll find the Towers not just aesthetically delightful but also brimming with history.
- Glass-Floored Walkways: One of the bridge’s modern additions, the glass-floored walkways, offer exhilarating views 42 meters above the river. Dare to walk on this transparent floor and watch the bustling world below – boats cruising, pedestrians crossing, and if you time it right, the magic of the bascules rising!
- Victorian Engine Rooms: Journey back to the steam age in the Victorian Engine Rooms, where the original coal-driven engines, boilers, and accumulators that once powered the raising of the bridge are on display. The rooms offer an insightful look into the engineering marvels of the Victorian era.
- The Bascule Chambers: Witnessing the bridge’s bascules (the two sections that can be lifted) rise is a unique spectacle. Designed to allow tall ships to pass, these sections can be raised to an 86-degree angle. Check the lifting times and witness this mechanical ballet firsthand.
- The Tower Bridge Exhibition: To truly appreciate the bridge’s history, the Tower Bridge Exhibition is a must-visit. Interactive displays, films, and other exhibits bring to life the stories behind its construction, its significance during both World Wars, and its role in London’s evolution.
- Unbeatable Panoramic Views: Last, but certainly not least, the panoramic views from the high-level walkways are breathtaking. Gaze upon London’s evolving skyline – from the historic Tower of London to the modern Shard. Whether day or night, the vista is picture-perfect.
