Advantages: An interesting sight to visit Disadvantages: Only enough for a hour or so
...engineers and one example is Tower Bridge over the Thames in London. Often overlooked by those visiting the Tower itself next door it is well worth adding to your itinerary in London. It is easily reached by the London Underground its station of Tower Hill being on both the Circle and District Lines. When I first visited the bridge many years ago there was not much to see. The presentation information then was quite limited though it was possible ... ...stimulating than for example the Tower itself. If you see everything and take your time you will probably not be there for more than an hour and a half.
There is a gift shop for your obligatory Tower Bridge pencil and eraser and plenty of pictures of the worlds most famous bridge. I do not know what Horace Jones the designer of the bridge would make of having thousands of people walk around his bridge but his design will probably remain for at least ...

Advantages: Great views. See how the bridge works. Disadvantages: Can be crowded at times
Don't just look at Tower Bridge - go inside it. The Tower Bridge visit is one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done in London and suitable for the whole family. The exhibition explains why and how the bridge was built and you get to see how it works. An added bonus is that you get to use the walkway between the two towers which was originally bult for pedestrians but was hardly used. The tour takes you up one of the towers and down the other, ... ...The view from the top of the bridge is fantastic - take a camera for the best shots you'll ever get of the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, the Thames and the London skyline. If the queues are too long at the Tower, go to the Bridge instead. ...

Advantages: good pictures for the album Disadvantages: need to combine this with other attractions
Tower Bridge. Yes, you can go there and visit but I would just go there. Going over or into Tower Bridge is of little value. If you are a visitor to London you must see Tower Bridge either from the embankment or from the River Thames and above all get your camera out and make sure you are in the shot. There is nothing worse than telling someone you have been there and can't prove it. If you are a visitor to Britain this is a vital shot for your collection. ... ...river trips which run from Charing Cross (The Embankment) to St Catherine's dock when you will pass right under the bridge. You can alight at the Tower or the Dock and return trips are quite frequent.
Don't expect to see the bridge raised, it does not happen very frequently. ...
