Simply one of the most famous, iconic, unforgettable sights in the world. Now you can even go up one of the towers (the one on the north bank side) and cross the Thames walking on its glass walkways!

Grab the £12 combination ticket for the bridge's upper walkways to see one of the best scenic views of London, as well as a climb up the Monument. http://bit.ly/2hluqwd

This doesn't get as much a mention as the red bus/phone box/bigben etc. but it's amazing, especially on the south side in the evening when the lights are lit along the bank. Worth a visit.

Love this bridge, especially in sunset and after dark. If you are a tourist in London getting all the way up into the towers is quite cool experience.

It is definitely the most iconic place all over London. Walk over it and enjoy stunning views of Thames & London. If you are lucky, you may even catch the time that opens and see it fully opened!

Wheelchair users, if you come from City Hall you can use the new public lift next to The Real Greek to avoid going uphill to get up to the bridge.

The Tower Bridge Exhibition is a quick, easy thing to do if you're staying in the area. It's interesting and has good views of London and the Thames. Reasonably cheap as well compared to other things.

If you r on the north bank, be sure to visit the Tower Bridge Museum, just down the steps on the eastern side. Low price entry for children, O.A.P.'s & the disabled

The gateway into London, a beautiful design, still in operation and a great tour to see how it all works. New addition is the glass bottom walkway at the top if your brave enough!

With the London Pass the tour is free and it's worth it. The view from the top of the bridge is fantastic. And you could walk on the glass floor over Thames River!

My favorite bridge in London. Just sit on a bench in the garden of the Tower of London, watch the view of Thames and the Tower Bridge, then light a cigarette :)

Major landmark of London which needs no introduction, it's the starting point for your jubilee walk all the way to Waterloo. Take time explore walking around bridge and see temporary exhibitions.

The world's most recognisable bridge. Visit the museum to see how it lifts to allow large ships to pass or simply wait til one approaches.

Tower bridge, the London bridge as most people know. But it's formal name is Tower bridge. Not to mix up with the bridge named London bridge that is just next to it.

The Tower Bridge vs. London Bridge debacle is so frustrating. For crying out loud, go and Wikipedia this. Tower Bridge is the one with towers (this one!). London Bridge looks completely different.
