Even world-famous landmarks need a little maintenance from time to time. Every three months, we give Tower Bridge a regular service, carrying out essential overnight works to keep the 131-year-old bridge in top working condition. To minimise disruption, the work takes place overnight. However, Tower Bridge will be closed to all traffic and pedestrians between 10pm and 5am from tonight to Sunday morning on 19 July 2026. During the day, the Bridge and its award-winning visitor attraction will remain open as normal. If you're travelling overnight, the nearest alternative river crossing is London Bridge. Regular maintenance is essential to keeping Tower Bridge working smoothly as both a vital river crossing and one of London's most visited attractions. #TowerBridge @cityoflondon

What a weekend for cycling 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️ in the Square Mile! The #RaceNocturne brought energy, excitement, and fun into the City, helping showcase it as a world-class destination for sport and major events. Lady Mayor of the City of London, Dame Susan Langley, and Sheriff of the City of London, Keith Bottomley, joined the crowds and cheered on the riders. Well done to everyone involved! 📸: Chris Keller-Jackson

Every three months City Bridge Foundation gives Tower Bridge a regular service, working overnight to keep the Bridge in tip-top working condition. Work takes place overnight to minimise disruption to the public, but during these periods the Bridge will be closed to all traffic and pedestrians 🛠️ The latest closure takes place from Tuesday evening on 14 April until early Sunday morning on 19 April 2026, from 10pm in the evening to 5am in the morning. During the rest of the day Tower Bridge and its award-winning visitor attraction are open as normal. The closest alternative river crossing is London Bridge. #TowerBridge / City of London Corporation

Reminder you cannot see the fireworks from the City's bridges. Have a safe, happy new year!
🎆 Last batch of #LondonNYE fireworks tickets released ✅ Book now / find out what's on - plan ahead 💡 Insider tip: You will not see the fireworks from bridges east of Southwark Bridge, including Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge, London Bridge or Southwark Bridge itself, because the rivers curve blocks the view.  👉 bit.ly/48XPQsi

London Liverpool St Station will close & no trains will run to or from the station from Sat 27 Dec to Thurs 1 Jan. The exception is Elizabeth line who have their own platforms serving London Liverpool Street. Greater Anglia will terminate trains at, and start back from Stratford (London), London Overground will terminate trains at, and start back from London Fields. Engineering work will be taking place within Bishopsgate tunnel (on the approach to the station), also refurbishment work on the roof of London Liverpool Street station. If you are planning a journey to or from central London, you may obtain better results by using Stratford (London) as your London station instead of London Liverpool Street.bit.ly/4jnNQyt
