Guidebook for Greater London
Entertainment & Activities
A stunning combination of special effects, CGI, real characters and animation take visitors from the bridge's creation in Roman times, right through to the opening of the modern day bridge. There are unexpected shocks, thrills and drama along the way.

This grisly tour offers Hollywood-style special effects and a huge scare factor in an authentic - and extremely spooky - setting.
Under-15s must be accompanied by an adult.
