Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For most visitors, a standard entry ticket from Tiqets or GetYourGuide is the most efficient way to secure a timed entry for the Glass Walkways and Engine Rooms. If you plan to visit the adjacent Tower of London on the same day, choosing a combo tour or the Explorer Pass offers significantly better value and a more cohesive historical experience.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Outdoor transition

    The route from the Towers to the Engine Rooms follows the Blue Line across the Bridge, so check the weather and prepare for walking outside.

  • Advance planning

    Tickets can be booked up to 8 weeks in advance; pre-booking is recommended if you want a preferred entry time.

  • No fast track

    A pre-booked ticket does not provide fast-track entry into Tower Bridge.

  • No re-entry

    One ticket covers a single visit; a new ticket is needed after leaving if you want to re-enter.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The Ticket Office and visitor entrance are on the northwest side of the Bridge, at the west side of the North Tower. The queue is outside, so check the weather and wear comfortable shoes. The visit continues from the Towers to the Engine Rooms outdoors: follow the Blue Line across the Bridge, then enter via the Engine Rooms and Gift Shop entrance, where your ticket is checked again. Lifts are available in the Towers and for the Engine Rooms route.

  • Price

    Current visible offer rows show the Official site adult ticket at £15.80, GetYourGuide standard entry at €18.00 with limited availability, and Tiqets standard entry at €18.45 with availability shown as available. Other listed products are guided tours, priority-access products or passes with different inclusions. Compare the final checkout total, selected date and inclusions before paying.

Reduced rates are available for youth aged 16–17, students aged 18+ with valid ID, seniors aged 60+ with valid ID, and disabled visitors; check the selected event for exact rates and proof requirements. Local Ticket eligibility covers residents of Southwark, Tower Hamlets and the City of London areas. Adults, seniors and students using the local offer need proof of address and photo ID; eligible children and youths need an accompanying eligible adult. Check the official terms for the current booking route and evidence requirements.

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ticket or can I use my phone?

Mobile tickets are fully accepted at the North Tower entrance; simply show the QR code on your smartphone. Ensure your device is charged, as there are no facilities to print tickets on-site.

What happens if I arrive late for my timed entry slot?

Tower Bridge allows a 20-minute grace period for late arrivals. If you arrive later than this, entry is not guaranteed and depends on current capacity; official tickets are non-refundable if you miss your slot entirely.

Are there any luggage or bag restrictions?

Yes, a strict 100% bag search is in place and the maximum permitted bag size is 45cm x 35cm x 20cm. Suitcases and large backpacks are prohibited, and there are no luggage storage lockers available at the Bridge.

How do I find the Victorian Engine Rooms?

The Engine Rooms are located in a separate building on the south side of the bridge (Shad Thames). After exiting the Walkways, follow the 'Blue Line' painted on the pavement to reach the Engine Room entrance, which is included in your ticket.

Can I get a refund if my travel plans change?

Official tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to a different date if requested in advance. For better flexibility, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often includes a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.

Do children under 5 or disabled companions need a ticket?

Yes, while admission is free for children under 5 and one companion per disabled visitor, you must still add these free tickets to your online booking to secure a timed entry slot.

Is there an extra fee to walk on the Glass Floor?

No, access to the high-level Walkways and the famous Glass Floor is included in the standard entry price. There is no separate 'skip-the-line' ticket for the glass floor itself, as it is part of the core visitor route.
