    Hiking

    Part of the tour of Tower Bridge is also the engine room with the two steam engines that once opened the two carriageway doors.
    Within 60 seconds, the steam engines were able to fill the two water reservoirs so that the flaps opened.
    Definitely recommended, the machines are well prepared and the technology is impressively explained.

    Hiking

    The technology that has worked for over a century is quite remarkable. Within a year the bridge was lifted up to 800 times.
