Great family day out. Be prepared to queue to see the crown jewels exhibition, definitely worth it though!

The most powerful and dazzling symbols of the British monarchy include the Imperial State Crown, the Coronation Spoon and the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross. Prepare to be amazed! Read more

Great tours, lots of history. One thing though: the wardens don't have their own museum which is a shame
Royal ArmouriesJanuary 11, 2011
The Armouries at the Tower of London received the first visitor in 1489 but it was by invitation only, the first recorded paying visitor to the Armouries was in 1545 to see the White Tower.

Take the time to participate in a Yeoman Warder tour. It’s great fun!

Popped by the Crown Jewels early and by the time I came out, the queue was twice as long and snaking around the courtyard.

The best place to visit if you want to learn more about London’s history. And of course it houses the Crown Jewels, the most famous jewellery collection in the world

Take the Yeoman Warders tour. Very funny and informative! But first of all, get there early and head off to the crown jewels. Lines can get pretty big.
Le TseJuly 11, 2012
Plan for at least half a day at the Tower of London. There's so much history to absorb! The beefeaters are real soldiers!
Nilson RogérioMarch 6, 2015
Having even worked there as a contractor, you start unavoidably breathing history from the moment you step through its gates.
Matt LApril 11, 2014
Much better than I expected. Crown Jewels are way cool. Try to avoid the busy times as the wait can be horrendous

You can see so much of this place just by wandering around it. Quite pricey if you actually want the full tour
Paul CunninghamAugust 10, 2014
I'd suggest going out of order and visiting the crown jewels early before the queue gets quite long.. But it does move fast.
Marco OrtizAugust 22, 2015
One of the best historic places in London. The crown treasures are a must see.

At the north bank of the River Thames is this remarkable UNESCO list of World Heritage Site. Also famous as a haunted place (ghosts of Anne Boleyn and Henry VI have said to haunted its halls).
Janet CheungSeptember 2, 2014
Go here even if pricy and wait for a beefeater tour and get to know the place then roam around after on ur own
Royal ArmouriesNovember 5, 2010
The White Tower is the original home of the Royal Armouries, part of this collection moved to Leeds in 1996 but the White Tower still holds some of the collections to this date.
Royal ArmouriesFebruary 17, 2011
If you're visiting the White Tower don't forget to check in with Royal Armouries at the Tower of London too - the original home of the national collection of arms and armour.
Chad RainsNovember 27, 2011

For fellow Catholics, ask one of the guards if they will let you pray before the Tomb of Thomas More!
Jake PearceOctober 3, 2011
Take your time here. Think of what has happened here.Treat it less as a tourist attraction and more of a chance to use your imagination - Harry Spotter style.See and smell the history here.
Donna BrownFebruary 7, 2012
From 1235 until 1835, the monarch’s personal zoo was kept at the Tower, and it included many exotic animals given as presents by other monarchs, including polar bears, leopards and elephants.

Don't miss the White Tower and the Royal Fusiliers exhibitions

Great place to see... make sure you're wearing something warm, it a bit chilly inside anytime you go there
Joshua StainesNovember 11, 2010
If your in London you need to see the Tower situated right on the bank of the Thames and a definite cornerstone of British History.Still fully intact with still functioning Beef-Eaters
Alerrandro CorreaNovember 14, 2017
You may buy ticket from Big Bus guys and save some money. You don't have to buy the bus ticket for that.
L KJanuary 3, 2015
Go on a sunny day, follow a Beefeater tour. Funny, interesting and special information.
Toria LJanuary 18, 2012
Bring comfortable walking shoes that won't get caught on cobblestone. Lots to see, definitely an all-day must-see attraction!
Brendan DalyDecember 30, 2018
Make sure you do a Yeoman Warder Tour. Leaves from the entrance and always a laugh and great stories.
