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?

Yes, Tower Bridge is a staple of most London bus tours—they typically travel over it and stop at either side of the famous structure. From other central London bridges bus tours tend to drive over—such as Tower Bridge and Westminster Bridge—you can also enjoy great views of Tower Bridge.

This tour was spectacular! Warren was extremely knowledgeable and easy to interact with. The headsets were a super plus to the experience. The history speaks for itself, but being able to have a translator like Warren to deliver it is a bonus. Was more than I thought it would be and the best part of our time in London.

London Sightseeing Tour: Guard Change with Tower of London Option

Glad we did it

Church was great. River tour was a "check it off the list" item, good but not great. Crown Jewels was great, but everything else at that site was blah for me. You don't see the changing of the guard at the palace, only the guards leaving their barracks as they walk to the palace. Our guide was great, although a few people fat lost/left as the day went on.

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.
