Wie moet wat kiezen?

Kies Tower Bridge als…

  • Iconic London image you can actually walk through.
  • Glass-floor walkways 42m above the Thames — kids especially love these.
  • Original Victorian steam engines still on display in working order.
  • Best-value London icon at £16 — a fraction of the Tower of London next door.

Kies Tower of London als…

  • Crown Jewels alone are worth the ticket — second only to the British Museum for must-see London artefacts.
  • Free Beefeater (Yeoman Warder) tours included — entertaining and informative.
  • 1,000 years of history in one site — White Tower, ravens, ramparts, prison cells.
  • Plenty of content — easily 3–4 hours of genuine sightseeing, not a tourist trap.
