Remember the first time you saw Tower Bridge? Perhaps you visited it on a school trip, or maybe you first discovered it via the silver screen: the lingering opening shot of Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy, or Pierce Brosnan as 007 speeding under it in Die Another Day.
Whatever stories you have involving the iconic London landmark, now's the time to share them. That's because Tower Bridge's Engine Rooms is playing host to a brand new exhibition, and you've got the chance to help shape it.
Lives Of A Landmark, which runs from now until April 2021, celebrates contemporary life at Tower Bridge — from the behind-the-scenes workers that keep the 126-year-old structure running to the thousands of visitors that walk its floors every day.
The exhibition features the work of documentary photographer Lucy Hunter, who in 2019 was commissioned to record life on the bridge during its busiest year. If you've ever wondered what it’s like to be the Head of Tower Bridge or to open the great bascules to passing ships every day, this is your chance to find out.
Alongside Lucy Hunter's photography, the exhibition explores the public's connections to Tower Bridge. From precious memories to ancestral bonds, Lives of A Landmark wants your stories. Share them on social media using the hashtag #MyTowerBridge and they could be displayed on a digital screen for all to see at the exhibition.
What's more, submitting a story gives you the chance to win a pair of complimentary tickets to Tower Bridge every month for the duration of the exhibition.
Exhibition entry is included in the standard price of admission to Tower Bridge. Find it by climbing the bridge's iconic towers, crossing the high-level West Walkway — learning about workers of the past along the way — before entering the Engine Rooms.
It's here, the former beating heart of the bridge which still houses its original steam engines and coal burners, that the exhibition is brought to life, blending industrial heritage with personal recollections and snapshots of modern life at this London landmark.
Lives Of A Landmark at Tower Bridge runs until April 2021. Entry is included in the standard price of admission (£10.60 adults/£5.30 kids aged 5-15). Click here to book your visit.
