The bascule chamber houses Tower Bridge’s huge counterweights during lifting. When the bridge is at rest, this huge brick-lined chamber stands empty: a dramatic subterranean Victorian space. The chamber’s unique acoustic is showcased here by specially-commissioned new works for voice, curated by Iain Chambers and performed by the award-winning Juice Vocal Ensemble and Ben See Group. Featuring classic and contemporary music, an unmissable and atmospheric concert providing a unique way to experience a great feat of Victorian engineering.
