Event: See Tower Bridge open one of 1,000 times per year
Date: All year
Families looking for cheap activities in London this summer can take in the simple pleasure of Tower Bridge opening and closing.
Sure to be an event to please the smaller kids of the family, the bridge lifts more than 1,000 times each year, making it easy to catch the event.
Generally the bridge opens more at the weekend than in the week, with the times and the vessel it is moving for being laid out on the official website.
People wanting to make a day out of learning about the bridge can go to the exhibition about the construction, described on the official website as "a must-see attraction" and a "truly memorable occasion".
Children can also get a Kids Explorer kit, containing maps, puzzles and other information on Tower Bridge.
Visitors to the bridge can also see the engine rooms and learn about how the lifting mechanism works.
Families are sure to be worn out after a day of exploring and can book a room at luxury London hotel the 41 to make a weekend of it.
While there they can take advantage of children under the age of 12 staying for free and eating for no charge when in the same room as their parents, in the Kids Go Free package.
