Watch Tower Bridge Lift

Free

It has been a feature of countless action movies, but have you actually ever seen Tower Bridge lift?

Whether you’re a visitor to this fair city or a hardbitten local, there is something hypnotic about watching Tower Bridge slowly and majestically lift for a vessel to pass underneath. It happens much more often that you might think – about 800 times every year – so you should be able to plan a trip quite easily.

Tick this iconic London sight off your bucket list; we’ve got loads more for you.

Organisers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
