The character of Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge Road carries the main through-traffic on the south side, while Shad Thames' original cobbled lanes are narrow, occasionally one-way and genuinely slow going for any car. St Katharine Docks on the north bank is a managed marina development with its own access rules around the water. We hold on Tower Bridge Road or the approach to St Katharine Docks and confirm the crossing is open before setting off.
- Tower Bridge lifts on a published schedule — we check it before any time-sensitive crossing.
