Thought would be a good experience for the view and seeing an icon land mark. However once inside it's like a Pandora's box full of lots to see and information that was easy to read and understand for all the family.

Easy to access and really pleasant staff. The information on the history was informative but relayed in an interesting way. We were lucky enough to see the bridge open under us.

That's what we needed: I think that paying the single ticket isn't sometime worthy for some attraction but the London ticket prices was fair enough.

We chose 3 because we only had 1 day. It was great because it did not require reservations for Westminster Abbey which was sold out for the day.
