Did you know that the 24 hours written notice required for a Bridge Lift has been in place since April 1962?

Any vessel with a mast or superstructure of 30ft (9m) or more can request a Bridge Lift. You can see all upcoming scheduled lifts on our website: bit.ly/bridge-lifts

Fingers crossed for blue skies today 🤞☀️

Good Luck to everyone running @londonmarathon today!

Went up and over Tower Bridge today, not a fan of the glass walkway, definitely not a fan 😂 #London #TowerBridge

Tower Bridge is celebrating 130 years with a free, summer-long exhibition you won't want to miss. Get ready to dive into a hidden treasure trove - a collection of photographs from the public opening in 1894, unseen by the public for over a century. Exhibition opens 22 June.

Why is there a bale of hay hanging in Tower Bridge?

It illustrates a little-known London law around bridge maintenance on The Thames, which states that if there is a reduced height due to works, a bale of straw must be hung underneath to signal to passing river traffic.

#LondonMarathon day. Good luck all those competing. #towerbridge

Did you know that Tower Bridge’s stokers used to shovel 20 tonnes of coal per week? That's around the same weight as three adult elephants! 🐘 There were up to 30 men working in the Engine Rooms every day of the year.

😎 ⁦Tower Bridge⁩ looking beaut!

A complex structure designed to serve both river and road traffic, Tower Bridge combines four bridges in one. No wonder it took eight years to complete!

The upper gallery on Tower Bridge is a very long way above the road 😳 #towerbridge

If you need us, we'll be practicing our 'catwalk' along the Glass Floors, until it's as elegant as Sigrid's 🐈

Climbing up to the top of Tower Bridge #towerbridge

Determined to walk over one of the bridges while in London!
