Tower Bridge from the South Bank
Another of London’s famous landmarks. It’s free to cross and free to look at, but if you’re interested in how it works and how they built it, we’d also recommend the tour which you have to pay for. It takes you right up to the top of the towers and back down to the engine room. After your tour, take a walk down the re-developed South Bank past the “Bee Hive” mayor’s offices to the Hays Galleria wharf which is full of restaurants and shops. Nearest tube station is Tower Hill. This is an extract from our free London City Guide.
