To clarify, I mean what’s inside these towers circled in the picture?

Stairs on one side, an elevator on the other and a museum dedicated to the bridge. The two towers are linked by the decks and they both have glass floors. It’s a pretty cool sight to do in London.

Both sides have elevators. One side also has the bridge lift, the mechanism that raises the central bridge to let ships through.

Thanks to Spider-Man: Far from home, I knew of the glass floor decks :D

(And it was just plausible enough to be not ruled out as “the glass is just in the movie so it can shatter”)

The London Bridge (not tower) is just filled with bats. They definitely have the cooler of the two London bridges.

The tower on the left is home to the Tea Wizard who uses parts of the lower floors for the nation’s biscuit reserves. The one on the right is host to a princess that’s been waiting for rescue by a prince for a very long time now.

I notice they don’t mention the elevator going down below the river…

… to where they keep the bodies.

And also all the super advanced weapons and generally freaky shit.

They have to keep up some mystery or you won’t need to do the tour!

So don’t mention that is where they keep the real Princess Di in a dungeon?

For a long time, I thought the crown Jewels were there. But it turns out the Tower of London and London Tower bridge are two different things!
