Quieter Time @ Tower Bridge, London

We know that visiting a busy attraction can be challenging for people who experience the world differently. That’s why we offer Quieter Time: a specially-designated period, designed to create a more inclusive and comfortable environment for all.

What happens during Quieter Time?

• Limited visitor numbers inside the attraction
• Hand dryers switched off. Disposable hand towels provided
• Reduced volume of soundscapes and video

We also:

• Train our staff with regular access awareness training
• Provide a visual story to help you plan ahead
• Provide access tool kits that contain sensory items and can help assist visitors who may benefit from distraction, play and sensory management when feeling overwhelmed by the environment. All visitors are welcome to request items from the kits from our team.

Quieter Time is for anyone seeking a more tranquil experience at Tower Bridge, along with their families, friends, and carers.

It may be of particular benefit to:

• Neurodivergent individuals
• Anyone with dementia
• Blindness or visually impaired individuals
• Deafness or hearing-impaired individuals

Whether you’re visiting with others or on your own, Quieter Time helps you explore inside Tower Bridge in a way that suits you best.

The Ticket Office and entrance is located on the west side of the North Tower. We suggest arriving at the exact time of your timed entry.

Please know that our queue is outside on the Bridge which is a working Bridge and there are a lot of noise and external inputs from the road and pedestrians. Our team will do their best to ensure your entry to the attraction is as smooth as possible.
