Of all the London attractions on offer to visitors, none is more iconic and as easily accessible all year round as the Tower Bridge. Constructed in the 19th Century as a working bridge which would allow access to boats and ships beyond the Tower Of London by virtue of its split, raised bridge decks, it was a Victorian marvel and one that remains a gasp-inducing engineering feat, all of which is explained in captivating period fashion at the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Ascending the castellated toy-town towers, visitors can see just how the Tower Bridge works, with scale models, displays, interactive exhibits and access to actual working parts of the structure, including the colossal Engine Rooms and all the intricate and technical gear that has seen the bridge operate on a daily a basis for over 100 years.
In that time, the Tower Bridge has survived the Blitz, various accidents (including a bus trying to emulate The Italian Job and nearly ending up in Old Father Thames!) and incidents including suicides and murders. The Tower Bridge Exhibition also reveals that the upper viewing decks were used by prostitutes to pick up customers in bygone days and were closed for many decades as a result! Now, however, visitors can take in the stunning views from its enclosed walkways, providing a unique view of the Tower Of London, St. Catherine’s Dock and HMS Belfast, moored across the river. The River Thames: Source To Sea Exhibition also provides a history of the river and the role of the Tower Bridge in it, making the Tower Bridge Exhibition one of the most fascinating and enjoyable London attractions all year round.
