No problems getting in, and a spectacular tour of the tower overlooking the river and the bridge—seeing it from above, the machine room, the historical narrative, and the video were all great. The only downside is that, unfortunately, too many people linger on the glass walkway, taking photos and selfies nonstop for far too long, getting in the way of those who just want to snap a photo or two and move on. We really need a staff member to limit how long people can stay there.

The trip to the London Eye was exceptional. Using Headout to visit London’s main attractions is essential, practical, and indispensable, plus it offers some savings when purchasing tickets for multiple attractions. I recommend using the app to make your trip easier, as it eliminates the need for printed tickets and works offline.

London Eye.
It’s convenient that you can book a time slot so you don’t have to wait in line for long.
It’s just a shame you can’t book a slot in the afternoon (until 5:30 p.m.).
It might have been even more beautiful with all the city lights.
However, this ride is also beautiful; you go one full rotation, which takes about 30 minutes.
This way, you can take lots of great photos; the capsule isn’t packed with people, so everyone has plenty of time to take pictures.

Westminster Abbey—what a beautiful building, both inside and out.
It’s very impressive to see everything there is to see.
You can follow along with the audio guide via headphones, though it can be a bit confusing at times.
Photography is permitted.

Fascinating life of Winston Churchill is well displayed in the Churchill War Museum. Amazing to see the actual rooms with the memorabilia that people used for work or sleeping. Recordings of testimonies and reflections makes WWII more vivid, tangible and real. Westminster Abbey was stunning in architecture, filled with royal history displayed by the ancient tombs, graves and monuments. Recommend both of these tours to all.

The London Headout Pass is really handy.
We chose the 4-attraction option, but this turned out to be 3 premium and 1 standard ticket. This wasn’t very clear when we booked, so we ended up booking the wrong one. However, they refunded the credit for the mistake, allowing us to book something else—which was really nice.

It was a great time, whether at the abbey or the Tower of London. No trouble getting in, and lots of nice things to see. I wasn't disappointed at all that I got to go.
Glass Walkway | Tower Bridge's 42m-high viewpoint
This modern feature is one of the most popular attractions within the historic structure. The Walkway offers panoramic views over the River Thames and the city skyline, allowing visitors to walk directly over the traffic and river below.
Where is it located?
The Glass Walkway is located in the upper section of Tower Bridge, connecting the North and South Towers, 42 meters (138 feet) above the River Thames.
How to access?
Access to the glass floor, or Tower Bridge walkway tickets, is included in all standard Tower Bridge entry tickets. There is no separate Tower Bridge glass floor ticket needed to experience the walk.
Things to know before booking Tower Bridge Glass Walkway access
Access is guaranteed: Access to the high-level Tower Bridge Walkway (including the Tower Bridge Glass Floor) is always included with your general admission Tower Bridge tickets. There is no special "glass floor ticket" required.
Pricing: The cost difference you see between different ticket types (e.g., standard entry vs. combo tours) is due to added services (like guided tours or a Thames cruise) or added attractions (like Westminster Abbey), not restricted access to the Tower Bridge glass walkway.
Accessibility: The Glass Walkway itself and the high-level walkways are fully wheelchair and pram accessible via the lifts inside the North and South Towers.
Visitor tip: The bridge lifts approximately 800 times a year. To enhance your experience on the Tower Bridge glass floor, check the Tower Bridge Lift Schedule online and aim to be on the walkway 15 mins before the listed time to watch a ship pass directly underneath you.
Why visit Tower Bridge’s Glass Walkway
Must-see highlights: Dare yourself to walk 42 meters above the Thames with traffic zooming underneath. Capture panoramic photos of London's major landmarks, including the Tower of London, The Shard, and St Paul's Cathedral, from a unique aerial perspective.
Value-packed ticket: Your Tower Bridge glass floor ticket also includes full access to the historic Victorian Engine Rooms—two attractions for one price!
Unique facts: The Glass Walkway was added during a renovation in 2014. The glass panels weigh over 500kg each.

The Glass Floor experience
The main attraction of the high-level walkway is the famed Tower Bridge glass floor. Suspended 42 meters above the Thames, this section offers a view straight down onto the river, traffic, and pedestrians passing below. It's the perfect spot for unique, gravity-defying photos and videos.
Access: Included with all Tower Bridge walkway tickets
Panoramic Thames views
Beyond the glass, the walkways provide uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic views of the city. Look East toward the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and West toward the historic heart of London, spotting landmarks like the Tower of London, The Shard, and St Paul's Cathedral.
Access: Included with all Tower Bridge glass floor ticket purchases
History & interactive displays
As you walk between the North and South Towers, engaging displays detail the social and architectural history of the bridge. Learn about the people who built it and the challenges of Victorian engineering that made the high-level walkway possible.
Access: Included with all Tower Bridge glass floor entry tickets
Bridge Lift
Informational screens often display the schedule for the bridge's bascule lifts. If you planned correctly, you can witness the massive arms raise right beneath your feet, a dramatic event made even better when you buy Tower Bridge tickets with glass walkway access.
Access: Free (Lift times vary)
Capture the moment: Your Glass Walkway photo guide
Look down!
The ultimate shot is looking straight down onto the double-decker buses and black cabs crossing the bridge. Position yourself near the edge of the glass panel for the best depth of field.
Architectural highlights of the Glass Walkway
Modern addition to Victorian design
The Tower Bridge Glass Floor was a contemporary addition, opening in 2014, well over a century after the original bridge’s completion in 1894. The high-level walkway itself was initially built to allow pedestrians to cross the Thames when the bridge was raised, but it fell out of use.
Engineering the Glass Floor
The glass floor sections, suspended 42 meters (138 feet) above the River Thames, are made of thick, laminated glass panels weighing approximately 530 kilograms (1,170 lbs) each. This structural insertion enhances the visitor experience and makes the most of the historic walkway.
Connecting the Towers
These high-level walkways connect the North and South Towers and offer the clearest views of the bascules lifting. Securing your Tower Bridge glass walkway access offers this thrilling perspective over the river and traffic below.
Historical and cultural significance of the Glass Walkway
The Tower Bridge Glass Walkway, opened in 2014, blends Victorian heritage with modern engineering. While the original high-level walkways (1894) were designed for foot traffic when the bridge was raised, the newer Tower Bridge glass floor transforms the experience. It serves as a modern cultural lens, encouraging visitors to physically engage with the bridge’s original architecture and the River Thames 42 meters below. Offering stunning views, the Tower Bridge glass floor elevates the Bridge's cultural role from a static monument to a dynamic, contemporary London experience.
Plan your visit to the Glass Walkway
The Tower Bridge Glass Walkway is open daily from 9:30am to 6pm (last entry at 5pm).
For the quietest experience, plan your visit for the early morning, right at 9:30am, especially during peak season.
The Glass Walkway is located in the high-level walkways connecting the North and South Towers, approximately 42 meters above the River Thames. Enter through the main entrance located on the west side of the North Tower.
