It’s the first time the exposed underside of the floors has been cleaned since the spectacular feature, which provides an essential photo opportunity for visitors brave enough to tread on it, was installed a decade ago.
Specialist sub-contractors working for bridge owner City Bridge Foundation abseiled from the structure’s twin high-level walkways to clean the underside of their glass floors.
Originally built to keep Londoners moving while the bridge opened below, Tower Bridge’s high-level walkways are now one of the city’s most dramatic viewpoints — especially since the glass floors were added in 2014.
The glass floor sits around 42 metres above the Thames, turning a piece of Victorian engineering into one of London’s most vertigo-inducing photo opportunities.
