Although the construction, displays and views are fantastic there are only 2 public toilets in the whole building. They are for male/female and disabled users, needless to say queues! The one I went into yesterday was not clean - the hot water was scalding and the hand drier was not working.Everyone that came out warned the next person about the... More

From the first time I walked across and saw it open, and every time I see Tower Bridge it makes me proud to have been bourn in England. It was built at a time when we were the best Engineers in the world. More

A great and worthwhile visit to all. The well informed staff/volunteers are always on hand to answer questions. The tour they offer is a must as its very informative. Crown Jewels - wow! Unfortunately you cannot take photos. I would recommend this visit More

The tours within are great, you learn a whole lot. Seeing the Crown Jewels was a highlight- tried not to compare it to my diamond ring!! More

What is fascinating about this iconic landmakr is not just the sheer beauty of its towers, it is the engineering behind it which you get to see on a tour. The non-visible parts which support the building and raise the middle spans, is just as interesting and a testament to victorian engineers More

It is indeed a whole new experience while touring the Tower Bridge's exhibits. I like it because as a foreigner who is new to London, I learnt a lot about the bridge's history through the short films and the exhibits. Everything was well organised, only down side was the price. So it's worth going for the first timers. I didn't... More

You can get views across the Thames from the top of Tower Bridge. The views were not as great as I first thought although the experience of being in a building like Tower Bridge was worth it. An interesting exhibition is also included. For best prices, you can book this combined with a visit to the Monument. More

The exhibition does give some interesting insights into the history of Tower Bridge, however the exhibits on the walkways could be improved as they relied too heavily on annotated pictures of bridges from around the world. While this was interesting, we would have preferred more interactive features about the Tower Bridge itself. More

First the good news is that the were no queues!! We got in straight away and a lift took us up to the high walkways where a short video gave an introduction. Next you get to walk high above the Thames on the high walkways. These are covered so you don't freeze but unfortunately the (admittedly very interesting and informative)... More

We visited Tower Bridge with our grandsons aged 11 and 14. All along the walkway there is a wealth of information on display boards,some especially geared up to children. The boys loved the skittles game at one end of the walkway and of course seeing all the machinery on the lower level with some "hands on" things to try out.... More
