Historic boat passing under raised Tower Bridge bascules

Raised Tower Bridge

The bridge is choreography: bells, bascules, and boats threading the arch.


Signals & Sequencing

  • Notice lights and bells; river traffic pauses; lift completes swiftly.
  • Boats queue; skippers time passages with precision.

From the Deck

  • Stand clear of rail; brace as wake shifts; watch shadows under bascules.
