Walk above the Thames
The High-Level Walkways sit 42 metres above the river and give you clear views east and west across London. The glass floors add an extra thrill, especially for children who like something a bit different.
Glass walkways, engine rooms and skyline views
Walk inside one of London’s best-known landmarks and see the city from 42 metres above the River Thames. Tower Bridge tickets include entry to the North and South Towers, the High-Level Walkways and the Victorian Engine Rooms.
You can take your time across the famous glass floors, spot London landmarks from above, then head down to the original Engine Rooms to see the machinery that once powered the bridge lifts. It is a self-guided visit, so it works well for families who want to explore at their own pace.
There are also free added extras on selected dates, including family activities and audio tour options. If you are planning a full day in the capital, browse more London days out.
