Wildside TravellersUltimate Guide to London

Horselydown Steps, located just east of Tower Bridge on the south bank of the Thames, offer a unique view of the iconic bridge and the City of London skyline.

Accessible via a small passageway and a set of stairs leading down to a stony beach, this hidden gem provides a close-up perspective of Tower Bridge that you won't find anywhere else.

It’s an amazing place to play with composition, especially if you want to get creative with reflections or leading lines. Make sure to check the tide times before you go, the steps and shore are accessible at low tide. Also be aware that the gate to the steps gets locked at night!
