Tower Bridge in London experiences its peak tourist season during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is typically pleasant. This is when crowds are at their highest. The low season falls during the winter months (December to February), with fewer tourists, but less favorable weather.
Weekdays, especially Tuesday through Thursday, tend to be less crowded than weekends. Aim to arrive in the morning shortly after the attraction opens (around 10:00 AM) to beat the rush and make the most of your visit.
Exploring Tower Bridge in its entirety typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. This allows ample time to walk across the high-level walkways, visit the Engine Rooms, and enjoy the panoramic views. If you're particularly interested in the history and machinery, allocate extra time for the Engine Rooms. Keep in mind that wait times for the bridge lift schedule, if you want to witness it, might add to the overall duration. Overall, a couple of hours should suffice for a comprehensive visit to this iconic London landmark
