No, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We hope that this helps to embed the visit into your learning at home. Adults will need to have a ticket to the event as well as their child. 

Please meet us outside the Engine Rooms on the south-west side of the Bridge at river level, where a member of Tower Bridge staff will meet you. See the map above for the exact location. 

We aim to start the workshops promptly at the time stated. Please be aware that you may not be allowed entrance to the workshop if you arrive significantly after the time the workshop started. 

The learning team can be contacted on 020 7940 8397 if you need to let us know that your journey has been delayed.

Our workshops are suitable for children aged 7 – 12. Unfortunately, we cannot accept children under the age of 7, or any younger siblings, on the sessions. 

Unfortunately, it is not possible for younger siblings to attend on the day. Alternative care arrangements will need to be made. 

Our workshops last around 90 minutes. Afterwards, your ticket entitles you to discover Tower Bridge and the Engine Rooms on a self-guided tour at your own pace, so allow extra time for this. 

There isn’t a café onsite, so please bring a packed lunch and drinks with you should you require refreshments on your visit. 

There is no lunchroom at Tower Bridge. Potters Field Park next door to Tower Bridge is a great place for a picnic. 

No, your child doesn’t need any prior knowledge of Tower Bridge before attending the workshop. We hope they will enjoy discovering all about London’s defining landmark through the activities in the session itself. 

There are toilets in the Engine Rooms on the south side of the Bridge for your use when you arrive at Tower Bridge for your session.

 There are also toilets in the South Tower. 

Accessible toilets can be found in both the South Tower and the Engine Rooms. Please note that these toilets are shared with members of the public and require adult supervision.

With advance notice, we can provide tools to support your child’s earning such as resources in large print, braille, coloured overlays and visual stories.
