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.

Westminster, London

Westminster lies at the heart of Central London, stretching from the River Thames to Oxford Street. It is home to many of Britain’s most famous landmarks, including the Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, and the lively West End theatre district.

The area’s history dates back over a thousand years. Westminster Abbey rose to prominence in the 11th century under Edward the Confessor, while the Palace of Westminster has served as the centre of government since the 13th century. Today, the name Westminster is often used as shorthand for the UK Parliament itself.
