When you’re 131 years old, you need a little TLC every now and then. Every three months City Bridge Foundation gives Tower Bridge a regular service, working overnight to keep the Bridge in tip-top working condition. Work takes place overnight to minimise disruption to the public, but during these periods the Bridge will be closed to all traffic and pedestrians 🛠️ The latest closure takes place from Tuesday evening on 14 April until early Sunday morning on 19 April 2026, from 10pm in the evening to 5am in the morning. During the rest of the day Tower Bridge and its award-winning visitor attraction are open as normal. The closest alternative river crossing is London Bridge. #TowerBridge / City of London Corporation

🎆 Last batch of #LondonNYE fireworks tickets released ✅ Book now / find out what's on - plan ahead 💡 Insider tip: You will not see the fireworks from bridges east of Southwark Bridge, including Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge, London Bridge or Southwark Bridge itself, because the rivers curve blocks the view.  👉 bit.ly/48XPQsi

London Liverpool St Station will close & no trains will run to or from the station from Sat 27 Dec to Thurs 1 Jan. The exception is Elizabeth line who have their own platforms serving London Liverpool Street. Greater Anglia will terminate trains at, and start back from Stratford (London), London Overground will terminate trains at, and start back from London Fields. Engineering work will be taking place within Bishopsgate tunnel (on the approach to the station), also refurbishment work on the roof of London Liverpool Street station. If you are planning a journey to or from central London, you may obtain better results by using Stratford (London) as your London station instead of London Liverpool Street.bit.ly/4jnNQyt

Today we welcomed a new addition to the City Corporation’s fleet of vehicles. @FMConwayltd's new Vok XL cargo cycle is now out and about on the City of London's streets, offering an emission-free alternative to using vans. The four-wheel quadracycle has a 2000 litre space for up to 200kg of weight, which will enable our teams to transport more equipment and materials in an eco-friendly and convenient way, whilst fully compliant with UK cycle lanes. You may have already seen some of FM Conway's standard cargo bikes working in the City, and this latest addition allows us to transport larger pieces of equipment, ultimately replacing the capacity of a small van and helping both the City and FM Conway towards their shared net zero goals.
