Tower Bridge Engine Room

Highlight • Structure

Part of the tour of Tower Bridge is also the engine room with the two steam engines that once opened the two carriageway doors.
Within 60 seconds, the steam engines were able to fill the two water reservoirs so that the flaps opened.
Definitely recommended, the machines are well prepared and the technology is impressively explained.

The Tower of London is officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London. With nearly 1,000 years of fascinating tales contained within its ancient stone walls, the Tower of London offers a fascinating insight into London’s heritage.

Over the years, the tower has been a Royal palace, prison, execution chamber, armoury, and even a zoo. Today, the Tower of London is a dedicated UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the tower, you can see the magnificent Crown Jewels, plus lots more.
