Glass Floors

Experience the spectacular Glass Floors in the high-level Walkways when you visit Tower Bridge.

This permanent feature offers visitors an incredible birds-eye view of London life, from 42 metres above the River Thames, and 33.5 metres above road level. Look down to spy those famous red London buses and pedestrians whizzing over the Bridge while river vessels sail under it.
