Underneath Tower Bridge are two huge empty chambers, but later this month they will be filled with music.
The chambers are where the massive counterweights swing when the bridge is being opened, but also offer a rather unique venue for events, so long as the bridge doesn’t need to be opened of course.
Over the weekend of 17th-19th Feb, there will be a site-specific light and sound installation in the Bascule Chamber.
This experience combines light, sound, and projected imagery. According to Tower Bridge, audiences are invited to ‘review’ and ‘re-evaluate’ their relationship with the city and their perception of its history and character.
Tickets cost £30 and are limited due to the capacity of the Bascule Chamber.
Or £35 to include a visit to the Tower Bridge Exhibition as well.
