Tower Bridge often closes for special events and ship passages, affecting local traffic. Book extra time during summer months when bridge openings are more frequent.

Shad Thames cobblestones near Butler's Wharf can challenge wheeled luggage. Your driver will assist with bags and suggest the smoothest pickup location.
