Visit Tower Bridge Exhibition

View London and its ever-changing skyline from one of the best vantage points in the city - 140ft above the Thames - on one of Tower Bridge's spectacular high walkways.

The East Walkway boasts fantastic views of the Docklands and the elegant Canary Wharf, while from the West Walkway you can compare the mixed architectural styles of the GLA building, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, the City and Pool of London, Big Ben and the London Eye.

Now galleried, these walkways were originally built to transport pedestrians across the Thames when the bridge was being lifted to let tall ships sail past.

Entering via the North Tower, visitors are then whisked smoothly and seamlessly by lift to the top (47 metres above the Thames) where they have a unique opportunity to see the Bridge's spectacular steel skeleton from within.

Find out more about the fascinating history of the Bridge through a series of short films, while interactive computerised kiosks and graphic panels explain the significance of the incredible views.

End your tour with a dramatic descent into the historical Victorian Engine Rooms. Installed for the completion of the bridge in 1894, these huge and beautifully maintained, coal-driven engines were used to power the thousands of bridge lifts.

Experiment with models demonstrating the technology behind the Bridge, while viewing an intriguing collection of photographs charting the life story of this world famous construction, before being taken smoothly back down to solid ground.
