Is Tower Bridge worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Tower Bridge delivers.

London's most photographed bridge, and viewing it from outside costs nothing. The paid Exhibition gets you onto the high glass-floor walkways and into the Victorian engine rooms — fun and informative but compact. Best at golden hour from the south bank.
