ABOUT TOWER OF LONDON

The Tower of London is one of the world’s most famous fortresses and has seen service as royal palace, prison,  armory and even a zoo.

Constructed over 900 years ago by William the Conqueror, the Tower of London is steeped in a rich history. This fortress was expanded by many medieval kings and is a grand structure used by Royals through the years as a refuge and power base.

The Tower is still home to her majesty's Crown Jewels, on display for visitors to see, and the infamous Beefeaters tasked with the job of guarding them as well as showing visitors some of the attractions highlights.

The White Tower is the huge and beautiful stone building in the middle of the sight and is home to a variety of ever-changing exhibitions of historic and royal artifacts. Traitors Gate on outer walls by the river is infamously known as the entrance for traitors that had been sent to the Tower for execution. Look out for the Beefeaters who are on hand to tell the tales of some of the unlucky few who came through Traitors Gate.
