TOWER BRIDGE Over 100 years ago, the Victorians built a bridge that has become one of London's most famous landmarks. High level walkways were built to allow people to cross the Thames whilst the Bridge was lifted to let tall ships sail past. Today these Walkways act as viewing galleries, giving visitors the most spectacular views across an ever changing London skyline. Visitors enter Tower Bridge Exhibition via the North Tower. They are then transported by lift to the top of the Tower (47 metres above the Thames) where they have a unique opportunity to see the Bridge’s steel skeleton from within. A short film explains the history and provenance of the Bridge and then there is the chance to admire the spectacular views – from both covered Walkways. On the east Walkway there are fantastic views of the Docklands and from the west Walkway you can see the new GLA building, the Tower of London, St Paul’s, the city, the Pool of London and Big Ben and the London Eye in the distance. Interactive computerised kiosks and graphic panels explain the significance of the views to visitors, as well as providing more information on the history and building of the Bridge. The interactive material and graphic panels are written in seven languages and an audio loop for the hard of hearing is also in place for the video show. There is another film to view in the South Tower before descending for the short walk to the historical Engine Rooms, included in your ticket price. Victorian Engine Rooms These provide a fascinating insight into late 19th century engineering. Installed for the completion of Tower Bridge in 1894, these huge, and beautifully maintained, coal-driven engines were used to power the thousands of bascule Bridge lifts performed until 1976. Although lifts are now operated by electricity, the original steam engines are still in place. The Engine Rooms give visitors a chance to experiment with models demonstrating the technology behind the Bridge. There are also some amazing photographs of the Bridge throughout its lifetime – including a revealing picture of the heavy steel structure of the Bridge as the stone cladding was installed over it.

La Torre de Londres es uno de los monumentos más famosos del mundo. Fue construida en el siglo XI (hace casi 1.000 años), y ha sido testigo de innumerables acontecimientos relevantes para el desarrollo de la actual monarquía parlamentaria británica. Durante la visita, podrá conocer a los famosos guardianes “Yeoman” o “Beefeaters”, vestidos como en la época de los Tudor, podrá escuchar la leyenda de los cuervos y también cuentos aterradores sobre la historia de la Torre. Visite la infame Torre Sangrienta, donde los príncipes fueron asesinados, la Torre Beauchamp donde los visitantes pueden leer inscripciones grabadas por los antiguos prisioneros y la Puerta de los Traidores, donde se empalaba la cabeza de los prisioneros más desgraciados, y mucho más. Esta entrada le permite acceder a todas las torres y atracciones, así como a las tiendas de regalos exclusivas, al histórico restaurante New Armouries, al Tower Cafe y al quiosco. Su entrada a la Torre también incluye la entrada a las Joyas de la Corona. Y tenga en cuenta que vendemos a un precio inferior respecto al precio de taquilla. Cosas que hacer y ver en la Torre de Londres: Exposición “Line of Kings” Durante más de 300 años, los visitantes de la Torre de Londres han podido contemplar exposiciones con armas y armaduras reales, caballos de madera de tamaño real y figuras de reyes. La Torre Blanca La Torre Blanca es uno de los castillos más famosos del mundo. Fue construido para asombrar, someter y atemorizar a los londinenses y a la vez disuadir a los invasores extranjeros. Es un símbolo de Londres y de la Gran Bretaña. Las Joyas de la Corona La Casa de las Joyas de la Torre de Londres alberga las famosas Joyas de la Corona. 23.578 piedras preciosas y gemas conforman las Joyas de la Corona e incluyen el diamante más famoso del mundo "La Gran Estrella de África". Los Tours de los Guardianes Yeoman Los Guardianes Yeoman, también conocidos como Beefeaters, son el rostro público de la Torre de Londres. Además de proteger la Torre y las Joyas de la Corona, también ofrecen tours para sus visitantes, en los que les deleitan con historias sobre la torre. Las Bestias Reales Lo último que esperaría ver en la Torre de Londres son leones, tigres, elefantes y osos polares, pero durante más de 600 años la Royal Menagerie hospedó estas especies y muchas más. Descubra sus extraordinarias historias y cómo era su vida en la torre. Los Cuervos La leyenda dice "El reino y la Torre caerán si los seis cuervos abandonan la Torre de Londres". Ya sea cierto o no, los cuervos se han convertido en uno de los elementos más famosos de la Torre, ¡solo asegúrese de contar al menos 6 cuando la visite! La Torre Verde Aunque parezca increíble, ser ejecutado en la Torre de Londres fue considerado un privilegio para aquellas personas de alto rango. La Torre Verde contiene un memorial permanente para aquellos "afortunados" que fueron ejecutados allí. El Palacio Medieval Al ser la parte más antigua de la Torre de Londres, el Palacio Medieval cuenta con unos interiores asombrosos que no verá en ningún otro lugar. Allí puede hacerse a la idea de cómo era la vida en una lujosa casa medieval. Reyes y Monedas; “The Royal Mint” en la Torre Una exposición dedicada a contar la historia de la Casa Real de la Moneda que estuvo ubicada en la Torre durante más de 500 años. Conozca los esfuerzos de Isaac Newton para liberar Londres de los falsificadores cuando fue Guardián de la Casa de la Moneda, los duros castigos de Eduardo I para aquellas personas que manipularon sus monedas, la restauración de la moneda por Elisabet I tras la desastrosa injerencia de su padre Enrique VIII y el rechazo de Carlos II de Inglaterra al dinero de la Commonwealth.
