London Westminster Walking Tour + Tower Bridge Ticket

About this tour

Walk through the heart of royal and political London with a local guide, then cap the day at Tower Bridge. The three-hour Westminster leg covers Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Parliament Square, and on select mornings you may catch the Changing of the Guard. Afterward, your ticket gets you into Tower Bridge on your own, including the glass-floored high-level walkways and the Victorian Engine Rooms. The full experience runs about five hours.

Highlights

• Time your visit to catch the roadway lifting from the high-level walkways
• See the original steam engines in the Victorian Engine Rooms
• Look straight down through the glass-floor walkways over the Thames
• Follow interactive exhibits on how the bridge was built and still works
• Spot the Tower of London next door, the landmark the bridge is named after
• See the counterweighted bascule design that lets tall ships pass

Visiting Tower Bridge: What to See, Hours, and Getting There

After the guided Westminster walk wraps up, you'll head to Tower Bridge on your own time, so it helps to know how the visit works. You can take the stairs or the elevator up into the towers to reach the high-level walkways, where glass floor panels let you look straight down at the river and the traffic crossing below. From up top you'll see across the city toward the Tower of London, the Shard, and the Houses of Parliament. The route then drops down to the Victorian Engine Rooms, home to the original steam machinery that used to raise the roadway, with exhibits along the way covering how the bridge was built and how it still operates.

Tower Bridge is at Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2UP. The closest Underground stop is Tower Hill on the Circle and District lines, and buses 100, 343, and RV1 also stop nearby; a walk along the Thames is an easy alternative. Standard hours run 09:30 to 18:00 daily with last entry at 17:00, though times shift with the season and special events, so it's worth checking the official site before you go. If you'd like to watch the roadway lift for passing boats, the lift schedule is published in advance.
