Tower Bridge, London, 125th anniversary

June 2019 saw the 150th anniversary of the London underground District line, and the 125th anniversary of Tower Bridge.

For the 125th anniversary, Tower Bridge was open to the public for £1.25 (instead of £9.80) on 29/30 June. So I took advantage of this offer. There was a queue when I arrived, but it moved quite quickly.

When I paid I was given the option of using the lift but I chose to climb the 200+ steps up in the North Tower.

The first level has an informative display of informative. I then carried on up to the walkway level. There are two walkways, east and west. View of the City, taken through glass, hence the reflections -

Along the middle section there is a glass floor. Many people were sitting on the floor having their photos taken so it was difficult to find good spots for photos looking down -

I then descended the South Tower to road level and follow the blue path with plaques to the Engine Room.



I then had to walk back across the bridge to get to the tube station
