About this experience
Join me to explore Tower Bridge! You will visit its North and South Towers, step into the engine rooms and see the giant steam engines that once powered the bridge lifts. Walk along the high-level Walkways above the Thames and enjoy unique views of London from 42 meters above. I will share the history and legends of the bridge with you.
What to Expect
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Victorian London and learn about the role the Thames played in its history. The growth of trade turned the capital of Great Britain into the center of an empire that at its peak covered a fifth of the globe. Who solved the problems of unloading and parking ships, and how did they do it? You will learn all this on the tour! I will also tell you:
- Who pays for the bridge to be raised and how much it costs
- Why a hay bale is hung under the bridge
- Who has priority in using the bridge
- A curious incident involving a U.S. President on Tower Bridge
- What were the duties of the 'head looker' at the bridge in medieval London
And much more!
