EmyleeSeptember 12, 2014So many special events, be sure to check out their website to see whats coming!
Ashley HallidayMay 2, 2010Probably the best tourist attraction in London, mainly because of the Beefeaters (Yeoman of the Guard) who do the tours (optional, but unmissable) - they tell a story very well! Read more
-April 9, 2018Despite expensive ticket price it is a good idea to take a look inside of this medieval fortress
HISTORY UKFebruary 17, 2011From 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.
London24May 3, 2012Today, seven ravens (including Baldrick and Marley) are kept at the Tower, and they each have a wing clipped to ensure they can’t fly far.
Will BelfordSeptember 18, 2013Mysteriously entertaining! A trip back in time, with unique details! Beautiful! I really enjoyed it!
Nick SuttonJanuary 3, 2013Go and see the Crown Jewels early as the queue builds up during the course of the day
The 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' installation at Tower of London until 11 Nov 2014
Bee WilliamsMarch 21, 2016This place was cool! Definitely check out the Crown Jewels! That was the most interesting to me
Best visit ever and I live here. Highly recommend annual membership
Andrew Fawcett-WolfNovember 14, 2013At 90 meters The White Tower was the tallest building in Europe (in 1190). Now dwarfed by the horrible Shard of Glass on the other side of the river! Progress? You decide....
Maria AshtonJuly 18, 2014Amazing place, but the audioguide is not worth the £4. There no clear logic behind the guide, you're better off reading the little descriptions on the pieces.
Ivča BerglerkaMarch 9, 2014You can't miss the Crown Jewels exhibition here, it's really beautiful!:)
Eddie W.March 12, 2011When visiting the Tower of London you must try the burger and make sure to ask for the secret sauce! You will not be disappointed.
steve tonkinAugust 7, 2010Expect big queues! If you have a kids buggy it's a bit of a nightmare The The collect of armor is amazing and the video is worth the stairs!
DavidAugust 28, 2014Building's architecture is wonderful. A little castle in the middle of the big city.
- Steve MJuly 17, 2012The essential tourist attraction. Tons to explore, tons to experience. Expensive but worth it.
Tágore AcOctober 19, 2016Had a great time listening to yeoman warder Clive, what a funny guy. Nice place to visit at all.
Lion Witch WardrobeMay 10, 2012This looks like a place where the White Witch might keep you. Get your tickets to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe live on stage at Kensington Gardens!
Allie GillilandMay 14, 2013Even though there is a long line, it is worth waiting to see the crown jewels!
Scott GDecember 21, 2014Another tourist area and probably a selfie hotspot. Have a walk around, take some photos etc.
Roaming GnomeOctober 28, 2013A thousand years worth of beheaded queens, ladies, and lords. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Hotel Reco: http://bit.ly/1inmUrx
Ian RicknerApril 9, 2013Take the Yeoman tour, you won't be disappointed. @billybeefeater was fantastic

Anthony ScottJuly 19, 2011Some of the more unfortunate residents arrived via the Water Gate. Wonder if the Nixon-burglarized apartment complex in DC is named after this one, a mark of shared infamy?
National Maritime MuseumJuly 11, 2011Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned here twice. After both releases he set off on unsuccessful missions to find the fabled ‘El Dorado’. He was finally executed here in 1618.Find your maritime story. Read more
ClementinaMarch 31, 2015Worth it even only if for the crown jewels. Biggest diamonds you'll ever see.
