Tower Bridge Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Tower Bridge in 2026?

You can walk across Tower Bridge and enjoy views from either side of the River Thames for free, but you can also go inside to browse exhibits on London’s history and culture and to get city views. Admission is £16 for adults and £8 for kids. You can sometimes get a midweek discount (seasonal).

Q: How long does it take to tour Tower Bridge?

It takes around one hour to tour Tower Bridge at a relaxed pace on your own. There’s plenty to take in, so you might even want to allow extra time to soak up the views and take photographs. Guided tours of Tower Bridge generally last around 1.5 hours.

Q: What's the best way to see Tower Bridge?

The best way to see Tower Bridge for free is from Potters Field Park or Tower Bridge Quay. You can also get a great view of the bridge from the top of The Shard or from London Bridge, the next bridge along the Thames River. Opt for a helicopter tour for unrivaled views of Tower Bridge and the London skyline.

Q: What is the best time of day to visit Tower Bridge?

As one of London's most famous landmarks, Tower Bridge gets really busy. The best time of day to visit Tower Bridge is on a weekday, either early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Booking your admission ticket in advance lets you secure a time slot that suits you.

Q: How much time should I spend at Tower Bridge?

Walking from one end of the bridge to the other takes less than 10 minutes—not including photo stops. Exploring Tower Bridge independently takes an hour, while a guided tour takes 1.5 hours. So if you're heading inside the monument, you should budget around 1.5-2 hours there.

Q: Can you see Tower Bridge on a bus tour?

Very expensive for what you get but very informative! The Tower has so much history and Don provided us with some good stories about the famous ones. Other groups meet up for the pre opening so it isn’t as exclusive as I thought. You would get to meet a Beefeater anyway once inside. Much time was spent counting the group at each stop. The meeting point is a distance from the Tower so be prepared for a lot a walking.

Tower and Tower Bridge

Great tour of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. We met with a Yeoman Warder and watched the ceremony to open the Tower for the day. And we were admitted to see the Crown Jewels before the crowd was admitted. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend this tour with him.

Know before you go

Tower Bridge is a must for architecture and engineering aficionados, and all first-time visitors to London.
While you can walk, cycle, or drive across the bridge, the most spectacular views are from the top walkways—part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
River traffic takes priority over road traffic, and vehicles and pedestrians have to wait when the bascules are raised.
The bridge is accessible to wheelchair users and strollers.
