TL;DR<\/strong>Walking across Tower Bridge in London<\/strong> is completely free \u2014 you only pay to enter the Tower Bridge Exhibition, where an adult ticket costs \u00a318 (about \u20ac21), a child aged 5\u201315 pays \u00a39, and under-5s go free; until 1 September 2026 a summer offer brings the adult price down to \u00a315.80. The main draw inside is the glass floor<\/strong> suspended 42 metres above the Thames \u2014 though you can’t photograph the bridge from up there. The bridge lifts around 800 times a year, roughly twice a day, and watching it for free from the riverside is, according to many, a better experience than the paid exhibition. Opening hours are daily 9:30\u201318:00 (last entry 17:00), it’s closed over Christmas and opens at 10:00 on New Year’s Day. The best exterior photos come from Potters Fields Park or Butler’s Wharf.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I came back to Europe after a year in Canada, our budget was pretty tight and we explored London mostly on rented bikes. That’s when Tower Bridge in London<\/strong> first appeared before us in all its glory, and even though we knew it from hundreds of photos, seeing this enormous structure in person completely took our breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back then we’d rather spend the pounds we saved on hot food and coffee, so we settled for admiring the bridge from the outside<\/strong> and photographing it from the riverside. We didn’t go into the paid exhibition, but I researched absolutely everything about it, because I was fascinated by how this giant Victorian puzzle actually works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re planning a trip to London, you’re probably wondering whether it’s worth paying for admission<\/strong>, or whether a completely free walk across the bridge will be enough. In this guide I’ll break down both options in detail and add a pile of practical tips for your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
