Tower Bridge Tour in Wembley Stadium

Tower Bridge London’s Most Recognisable Landmark

No image of London is complete without Tower Bridge, the city’s most famous bridge and a masterpiece of Victorian engineering. Opened in 1894, this bascule and suspension bridge spans the River Thames beside the Tower of London and remains one of the capital’s most photographed landmarks.

Visitors can explore the Tower Bridge Exhibition, walking across the high-level glass floors for breathtaking views of London, or step inside the historic engine rooms to see the original Victorian steam machinery that once powered the bridge lifts. Watching the bridge open for river traffic is still one of the city’s most iconic sights.

As one of London’s top 30 attractions, Tower Bridge is an unmissable stop on any sightseeing itinerary. With Big Ben Coaches, reaching it couldn’t be easier. Our modern Mercedes-Benz fleet and professional drivers provide safe, reliable, and comfortable group travel directly to the bridge and nearby attractions, including the Tower of London and St Katharine Docks.

Wembley Stadium, known today as Wembley Stadium connected by EE through sponsorship, is the home of English football and one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world. Located in Wembley, London, the stadium opened in 2007 on the same site as the original Wembley (1923–2003).

With a capacity of 90,000 seats, it is the largest stadium in the UK and the second largest in Europe. The venue is owned by the Football Association (FA), whose headquarters are based on site through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL).

Design & Structure

Designed by Foster + Partners and Populous, Wembley is instantly recognisable for its 134-metre high arch. This striking feature not only defines London’s skyline but also carries more than 75% of the stadium’s roof load. The structure includes two retractable roof sections that let in natural light to support pitch growth. Construction was led by Multiplex at a cost of nearly £800 million, making it one of the most ambitious stadium projects in the world.

Sporting Events

Wembley is the stage for the biggest moments in English football. It hosts:

• All England men’s national team home fixtures
• The FA Cup Final and semi-finals
