Tower Bridge Lift 1
Tower’s bridge
Tower Bridge lifts 1,000 a year, which is an approximate average of three times a day. All of this is computer controlled now and you can see a video of the process in the engine room at the Tower Bridge exhibition. I asked the staff if opening the bridge is expensive, but they assure me it only costs pennies these days.
If you have a yacht, you can request the opening of Tower Bridge; you only need to give a minimum of 24 hours notice. When the bridge is fully open, the scales are at 86 degrees but not fully open for all vessels.
Use the Tower Bridge Elevation Schedule posted on the official website to plan your visit (and photo opportunity). The schedule is generally available 2-4 weeks in advance. The best place to look and take photos is on the South Bank, outside of City Hall.
