Among the many beautiful bridges spanning London’s River Thames, it is the iconic Neo-Gothic design of Tower Bridge that draws countless visitors to the United Kingdom’s capital city. Officially opened in 1894 by the Prince and Princess of Wales, this ornate bridge is a symbol of London’s rich history.

The two towers are connected by high-level glass walkways, 138 feet (42m) above the river, offering breathtaking views of the city. Visitors can explore these walkways during their visit or on a family-friendly guided tour. A trip to the Victorian Engine Rooms reveals the fascinating machinery and dedicated people who have kept this historic bridge lifting for over 130 years.
