The safety and security of our visitors to Tower Bridge is paramount. Our trained security and welcome hosts are on site to assist you and will happily talk to you during your visit. They are here to keep visitors safe and sound in order to enhance the experience.
Please cooperate fully with all security checks and support these vital members of our team as they carry out important work to keep us all safe.
We currently operate a 100% searching policy meaning all bags belonging to visitors are subject to search.
On arrival, your bag search will occur and will be carried out by our trained security staff. Visitors are advised to allow additional time for security checks.
Please note as our visitor experience involves leaving the Bridge to walk to the Engine Rooms, your bag is subject to a second search on entry to the Engine Rooms.
Please note that we are unable to offer bag storage or a cloakroom on site, but you will be able to take your belongings with you. We do not restrict the use of prams, pushchairs or wheelchairs within the spaces.
For the safety and security of visitors and staff, we use CCTV at Tower Bridge. Find out more about how we use CCTV in and on Tower Bridge.
The answer is lots.
There are the security measures you can see and of course the ones you can’t. We monitor the Bridge each and every day and all our staff are trained to ensure all our visitors have a safe, secure and enjoyable experience.
We work very closely in partnership with the City of London Police, the Metropolitan Police Service and members of the security services to ensure our security procedures are up to date and following best practice.
