Tower Bridge Walking Path

This specific spot is on the left side of Tower Bridge (when facing south) under the first arch from the north side of the bridge entrance. Look for the Tower Bridge plaque to orient yourself. By London Underground: - Closest Station: London Bridge Station (via Jubilee or Northern lines) - Turn right onto Tooley St/A200 - Turn left toward More London Riverside - Turn left at Potters Fields Park - Turn left onto Tower Bridge and head south

Tower Bridge can be photographed all year, but make sure to check sunset times for each season so that it's dark out when you go to shoot.

To capture the illuminated light trails, I recommend visiting the bridge at night. I also like to visit here during sunrise, sunset and blue hour.

I shot at 12mm (full frame), so extremely wide, but you'll be able to frame the walking path and arch with a 16mm lens.

I recommend using a tripod and remote to avoid camera shake.

In order to get bus light trails, try getting your camera close to the railing and be patient for a bust to pass by. Also, slow down your shutter speed — I set mine to 3.2 seconds.

Try incorporating the 'Tower Bridge' plaque into your shot. It's a create way to give your image some location context.

Explore other angles of the bridge, river and city views! On either side of the bridge, you'll have excellent choices of bars and restaurants.
