If I was to recommend any of the above attractions it would most certainly be the Tower Bridge Tour or failing that why not watch the opening of the bridge to allow some of London’s taller ships access to the heart of the city.  If however you just cannot cram it in we have found five of our most favorite facts about the Bridge that will make even the most skeptic believe you have experienced the tour.

1910 – the high-level walkways, which were designed so that the public could still cross the bridge when it was raised, were closed down due to lack of use.

1912 – during an emergency, Frank McClean had to fly between the bascules and the high-level walkways in his Short biplane, to avoid an accident.

1952 – a London bus driven by Albert Gunton had to leap from one bascule to the other when the bridge began to rise with the number 78 bus still on it.

1977 – Tower Bridge was painted red, white and blue to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. (Before that, it was painted a chocolate brown colour).

1982 – Tower Bridge opened to the public for the first time since 1910, with a permanent exhibition inside called The Tower Bridge Experience.
