Deep under Tower Bridge lies a vast cathedral sized space that almost seems larger than it can be, and during the winter months, the public can go inside for a look.
Tower Bridge offers these two-hour tours, which include the areas seen by the public on a normal tour, but with your own guide taking you around and then, halfway through, a detour into a room not visited by the public.
But you're here to see the bascule chamber, and so it's time to go down, deep down, below the river level. First past the large large space where old hydraulic accumulators are still in situ.
The tours last about 2 hours and are available most weekends from November through March. Tickets cost £75 per adult and are on sale now from here.
