12th - 23rd January 2004 Calling all engineering enthusiasts!
Due to the outstanding demand for our Engineering tours in 2004, Tower Bridge Exhibition will again be offering the unique opportunity to take a trip behind the scenes and discover the modern day workings of one of the most famous engineering feats in the World.
Also, for 2004, we have extended this opportunity over two weeks! From the 12 th January until the 23 rd January, Monday to Friday, Tower Bridge engineering tours will take place every evening, starting at 17:15 and 17.45 and will last approximately 1 ½ hours.
Tours will start at the exhibition ticket office, located on the North West side of the Bridge.
Visitors will be taken on their tour by one of Tower Bridges Engineers. As well as visiting the Tower Bridge Exhibition they will be given the opportunity to visit the areas of the Bridge that the general public do not normally see. Visitors will be taken to visit the Bascule Chambers and modern Engine Rooms located underneath the Bridge.
The tour will end with a visit to the Victorian Engine Rooms, which hold the original size hydraulic engines that powered the bridge until 27 years ago. Guests will also have the opportunity to look around the Engine Rooms, which explains in detail the original workings of the Bridge.
Places are limited as each tour holds only 12 people, so booking in advance is essential. The cost for these tours will be £15.00 per person.
Bookings can be made by calling 020 79403961.
