In an historic first, the Tower Bridge Exhibition and the Tower of London have joined forces to give families visiting the capital this half term double the fun at amazing value. A new family pass for only £49* entitles a family of five the chance to see the Crown Jewels at the Tower and then soak up some of London's best known sights from 42 metres above The Thames inside one of Britain's best known bridges.
With a saving of 15% on a family ticket, families can also take advantage of the great savings in the restaurants and gift shops: For just £1 kids** can dine out in style when an accompanying adult spends £5 and over on a meal at The Tower of London plus the Tower Bridge Exhibition gift shop is offering 10% off everything!
Under the watchful eye of a Beefeater or two, families will be able to experience nearly 1000 years of history at the Tower and hotfoot it to the Tower Bridge Exhibition to check out the stunning views of London and get active with the interactive computer displays and talking telescopes to find out more about the bridge's impressive past. With over three bridge lifts a day you may even be lucky enough to see Britain's best-loved bridge in action!
You can then visit the Victorian Engine rooms and marvel at the power of the original engines used to raise the bridge and if you miss out on a real bridge lift, head for the hands on models so you can say that you've raised the bridge!
