Tower of London
We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
The Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest and has served various purposes over the centuries, including a royal palace, prison, treasury, and even a zoo. The castle’s White Tower, which gives the entire complex its name, is a symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by William the Conqueror.
Visitors to the Tower of London can explore its rich history, from the royal apartments to the execution site of three English queens. One of the highlights is the Crown Jewels exhibition, where you can see the spectacular collection of royal regalia, including the Imperial State Crown. Another must-see is the White Tower, home to the Royal Armouries’ collection, showcasing armours and weapons from different eras.
Plan your visit
When planning a visit to the Tower of London, it pays to plan ahead. Here are some tips and tricks for making the most of your experience: 1) Buy tickets in advance online or at least make sure you arrive early as queues can be long. 2) If you want to see the Crown Jewels, get there before 10 am when they open as they tend to get crowded quickly. 3) Take advantage of free audio guides that are available in multiple languages. This way you can explore on your own while learning more about the history and significance of this historic site. 4) Bring plenty of water with you as there aren’t many places inside where food and drinks are allowed. Remember that summer months tend to be particularly hot so stay hydrated! 5) Don’t forget to take lots of photos! There is so much beauty in every corner - don’t miss out on capturing it all!
