Glass Floor
Take a stroll across high-level walkways with a brand-new, spectacular glass floor and view the capital from the lofty heights of this celebrated Victorian bridge. Gaze down past your feet, 42 meters above the Thames and further afield, and see St. Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf, maritime Greenwich, and The London Eye!
Victorian Engine Rooms
Visit the Victorian Engine Rooms and see the striking original steam engines that once raised the bascules of the bridge. Experience sounds and smells that transport you back in time to when the engines droned into life! A fascinating virtual bridge lift reveals how the bascules still rise today to let ships pass beneath the walkways.
