An iconic London landmark and one of Britain's best loved historic sites, Tower Bridge is open to the public 363 days a year. Within the Bridge's iconic structure and magnificent Victorian Engine rooms, the Tower Bridge Exhibition is the best way of exploring the most famous bridge in the world!
Come learn about this incredible feat of Victorian engineering, discover how the Bridge is raised and enjoy stunning panoramic views across London from our high-level walkways, 42 metres above the River Thames.
Open to the public since 2000, the London Eye became a city landmark in record time, quickly making its mark on a scene dominated by centuries-old buildings. But few can resist a ride 443 feet up that delivers some of the most epic views (and photo ops) of the city. Or the bragging rights that come with riding Europe’s tallest observation wheel.
Despite the fact that millions of people come here annually, the ride is surprisingly customizable: You can pay extra to have the glass capsule all to yourself, add a glass of bubbly for the ride up, or even rent out a pod for a proposal. Back on solid ground, riders can continue the sightseeing experience with a cruise on the Thames. A stroll through the nearby Jubilee Gardens is another must-do.
Close your eyes and think of London. Chances are you’re picturing Big Ben, the clock-tower-turned-national-symbol that’s been used in countless movies, from Mary Poppins to the Bond series. The name actually refers to the 15-ton bell inside, which still rings strong (and seriously loud) even with a century-old crack.
Standing at one end of the Palace of Westminster (where Parliament meets), the spiral staircase is where visitors can climb up 334 steps to check out the belfry and see the clock and bell up close. Named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, the Gothic Revival tower went through a massive refresh in 2017, and it now looks as good—and as grand—as new.
