Pro Tip: I highly recommend visiting the Tower of London while you’re in the area. Tower Bridge and the Thames River are on the other side of the Tower of London. The exit from the train station passes under the roadway and pops out right next to the Tower of London, the fortress/castle surrounded by an empty moat. Take the Tube’s yellow Circle line or green District line to Tower Hill station. The quickest and easiest way to get around London in general is the Tube (underground train/subway). These tours have limited availability and sell out fast (and are not included in the London Pass). Schedule your behind the scenes tour well ahead of your trip.Check the bridge lift schedule online the day before and plan your visit to coincide with a bridge raise.If you don’t do heights, or maybe just not glass floors, there’s a regular non-see-through floor walkway as well. The glass floor walkway is not the only way across the sky walk.Hint: if using a London Pass, this is included in your pass! No need to purchase separately.Using the skywalk requires a paid ticket: the Tower Bridge Exhibition. Walking across the bridge at street level is free.The Tower Bridge Exhibition is the iconic lift bridge with the two towers and aerial walkways.
