    Certainly a must see if you are traveling to London! The history of the Tower is hard to comprehend when you consider that the place is older than the United States. Lots of history to take in from the jail cells, torture machines, to the tower, the ravens, and all of the armament, weapons and cannons to see. The Tower also has the Crown Jewels on display. I would plan to arrive early if you do not wish to stand in line for extended periods to see the Crown Jewels. They are worth seeing though…especially if you want to see diamonds, emeralds and sapphires the size of golf balls. Unfortunately, photos of the jewels are not allowed or I would post some. As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs, narrow spiraling staircases and some narrow corridors to walk through. That said, it was certainly one of the many highlights on our London trip. I’ve seen people give estimates of time for this visit. I would say 3-4 hours is probably a good estimate (not including a long waiting time in line for jewels). We read some of the signage on displays and then just passed by others. If you are the type who reads it all, maybe longer.

    A very interesting place to visit. the place is steeped in history. We all read about it in textbooks and saw it in movies. Incredible feeling. The treasure chest is simply amazing. Crown of the Queen! Cool! Very cool staff. And these crows)))) I recommend without hesitation! Use the audio guide.

    This was a great experience. Seeing the crown jewels was magical. The entire experience was perfect. Lots to see and do with so much to learn about the history of the tower, those effected by it, and the enduring legacy.

    Historical and fascinating trip! A day here is a day well spent. I have always wanted to visit and I was not disappointed. We visited all of the spots and every site I learnt something. It was incredible to see the dark history that lies here and is still present today. The whole experience was fantastic and as an attraction, was done incredibly well. Everything is thought out brilliantly, with interactive spots along the way. This London hot spot is a MUST for all ages. You can wonder for hours… learning the deep, dark history. As well as bestowing the views of the Crown Jewels and armoury of the soldiers of many years ago. All of which are incredible to see in the flesh. There is facilities and a cafe - of which we enjoyed soup and a hot drink. Both of which were welcome on a cold day, but also were very tasty. Very impressed with my visit here and will definitely come back in the future!

    Great day out, lots of history and beautiful views of the castle and Tower Bridge and a nice cafe inside. You can follow a guided tour or purchase an audio guide, though neither is particularly needed as there is plenty of information displayed in all parts of the castle. Not really suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as there is lots of stair climbing involved.

    The Tower of London is a historic fortress that has played a crucial role in British history for nearly a millennium. With its formidable White Tower, it's a fascinating blend of architecture and historical significance. Housing the Crown Jewels, the Tower provides a captivating journey through medieval times, showcasing its use as a royal palace, prison, and armory. The Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters, add a touch of engaging storytelling to the guided tours. A visit to the Tower offers a vivid glimpse into the country's regal past.

    Amazing place to visit! We had recently come from Ireland and to hear the different pieces of British and Irish history intertwine was really neat! I highly recommend paying the extra bit for the audio tour once you get inside. It helps give you a little bit extra that you can’t get from just reading all the signs. I also recommend getting there before noon so you have enough time to see everything!

    Can't recommend a trip to the Tower of London too highly. It's a really great day out. At first the ticket price of £32 each appears very expensive, but trust me, it's real value for money. You get to see so much real history, touch the walls that have stood there for years, and see the well laid out exhibits from over the centuries. We went early and we beat the crowds, we walked straight in to see the crown jewels, no queue at all. They are amazing! The bloody tower, the white tower, Beefeaters, Ann Boleyn, Sir Walter Raleigh, changing of the guards, traitors gate, so much to see. The exhibits are easy to view and understand. Really impressed. We saw what we wanted to see and stayed for just over 3 hours, but could have done another hour easily. We finished our trip with a walk around the ramparts, where we had great views of London. Highly recommended 👍

    A must see for any London travelers interested in its rich history. Enjoy this amazing castle and all of its nooks of deep history. There are a lot of steps so keep this in mind. It's easy to get tickets and although there are a lot of people, it's easy to navigate throughout. Tons of amazing photo opportunities. Have fun!

    It is a very cool experience. You get to step back in time, seeing things from a long time ago. There is a lot of history and information to read and take in, so many cool things. I would recommend buying tickets in advance for 9am. I was dropped off at about 8:05 and was able to get some good pictures of the exterior of the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. There are a few coffee shops around, so you can grab some coffee before the line opens. I got in line at about 8:30 and was towards the front. I would recommend going to the Crown Jewels first as you will have a bit of space before the crowds decend on the attraction and there is a long wait. Even if you have a voucher for a guide book, I would get it after. If you have a voucher for a guide book, the place is on the right hand side of the building, the audio guides are on the left. So, if there is a huge line on the left, don't worry, you can slip in and get the book. The books are in several languages, and there is a option for the kids book.

    Admission was a little steep but totally worth it. We paid under £30 per person, but it varies by date and what website you purchase through. We bought tickets in person and not in advance. As soon as we walked in there was a beefeater starting a complimentary tour. He was very funny and informative, and explain the history of the castle and the surrounding areas with a lot of detail given to the history of executions here. There is also an audio tour available at an additional cost. We left his tour to go explore by ourselves and we saw the king's Chambers which were fascinating and included a marker in the chapel where King Henry VI was assassinated. Awesome. There were active guards marching around who still live inside the castle. Actors were doing a play in the courtyard by the White Tower. There were plenty of bathrooms and a couple of cool gift shops. You could easily spend three or more hours here. As with most attractions in the city, parking could be a problem but we did not have a car.

    A great historic place to learn about this country's history. Be prepared for lots of steps so not good if you have mobility issues or are in a wheelchair. The Crown Jewels building is spectacular, so many jewels, gold and treasure. The Torture Room was a big letdown though, only a handful of exhibits. So much to see at The Tower, and it is well worth a visit. Would definitely visit again.

    The tower of London is a great place to visit and take a peek into the past of English history. We were conducted very professionally by the yeoman who explained the history. The crown jewels collection is simply outstanding. You should keep atleast 3 hours to see this world heritage site.

    The Tower of London is a 900-year-old castle and fortress in central London that is notable for housing the crown jewels and for holding many famous and infamous prisoners. Throughout its history, the tower has served many purposes: it housed the royal mint (until the early 19th century), a menagerie (which left in 1835), a records office, an armory and barracks for troops. Until the 17th century, it was also used as a royal residence. First fortifications William the Conqueror created the first fortifications after the conquest of London in A.D. 1066. The Norman invader lacked support among the people of the city and he feared its inhabitants could throw him out. William of Poitiers, an 11th century writer who described William the Conqueror and his conquests, wrote that “certain strongholds were made in the city against the fickleness of the vast and fierce population.” These would come to include what is now called the “White Tower,” the innermost building in the castle, which gained its named after the exterior was whitewashed in the 13th century by King Henry III. Tower historian Geoffrey Parnell writes in his book "The Tower of London Past & Present" (Sutton Publishing, 1998) that the tower was expanded for about 250 years after William the Conqueror’s time. Today, the complex's series of buildings and fortifications sprawls over 12 acres (5 hectares). Famous prisoners and torture Throughout its history the tower was used to imprison a wide range of prisoners, from deposed monarchs to more common criminals. Prisoners included Lady Jane Grey, who was queen for about a week in the 16th century before she was deposed by Mary I. Also imprisoned there were two princes, Edward and Richard, ages 12 and 9, who were the sons of Edward IV (died 1483). They appear never to have left the tower alive and some thought they were killed by Richard III, their uncle who took the throne for himself. Two of Henry VIII’s wives, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, were both imprisoned and later executed. Henry VIII, who turned England into a Protestant country, also had a number of dissenting clergyman committed to the tower and later killed, including his former counselor Thomas More.

    An iconic location in London. Although I had been around multiple times, this was the first time I actually went in and it was absolutely worthy. We took a tour with the youlers which made the experience a lot more interesting. There's more than a 1000 years of history behind the walls including the crown jewels. I would strongly recommend visiting the white tower and the crown jewels. There's toilets inside the building so there's no need to worry about that.

    Amazing place of history as gruesome as some of it were, and the Crown Jewels were simply splendid. Highly recommend the tour and well worth a visit, otherwise my advice is to book online and arrive early in the morning at 9am, the tour lasts about two and a half hours. The architecture of the buildings are absolutely amazing. The Beefeaters were so knowledgeable and had brilliant ways of talking about the history of the place. Great place to spend the day and have a picnic in the ground as well. Plenty of shopping to do around the area.

    Amazing tourist attraction of this wonderful place,it is one of the most visited places nowadays since the Royal Jewels are guarded here. The Royal jewels are amazingly displayed, and the history of them is well explained all along the place. Big queue for the Crown Jewels once you got inside the Tower, but well worth the wait. I suggest everything try to come early in the morning around the 8:30 slot. It will not be crowded at that time. There are lots of things to see inside the tower. The Cafe inside is a great place to take relief. The exit is beside the Thames with awesome views of Tower Bridge. We thought it will take 2-3 hours but we spend almost 5 hrs. The fortress is maintained properly. The audio guide helps you a lot when you are in. The Ammunition department is amazing. I will definitely come back to visit them again whenever possible.

    Gary was excellent. It is well worth waiting for a very fun and informative tour with a Yeoman Warden. The crown jewels are a must seen. You can easily spend the entire day around the tower. It is expensive to do, but totally worth your time and money. Thank you Gary!

    What a step back in history! Having lived in London for 20 years, like many other locals, I’d taken this gem for granted and never been round it. Having an American girlfriend I felt it important to show her what real history was all about and we both loved this trip back in time. Shame some of it was closed due to covid but the lack of crowds allowed us to take our time, especially with the crown jewels. A must see for locals and tourists

    Absolutely worth a visit make sure you’ve got the legs for it there’s a lot of walking to do. We did the 45 minute tour guide well worth it. Saw the guards and importantly visited the white tower and the Crown Jewels. Unfortunately we got there later than expected and then found out the tower closed at 16:30. If you haven’t been go visit it is a must see my 9 year immensely enjoyed it.

    (Translated by Google) The Salt Tower is a tower in the fortress of the Tower of London. The tower, probably built in 1238, stands on the southeastern edge of the fortress in the inner fortress ring. It is the only remaining tower of the tower from this construction phase, which contains three instead of the usual two floors. The Salt Tower was one of the towers in the fortress where prisoners were regularly locked in the tower. Among others, the Scottish King John Balliol sat here. Highly recommended tower (Original) Der Salt Tower ist ein Turm in der Festungsanlage des Tower of London. Der vermutlich 1238 gebaute Turm steht an der südöstlichen Kante der Festung im inneren Festungsring. Er ist der einzige erhaltene Turm des Tower aus dieser Bauphase, der drei anstelle der üblichen zwei Stockwerke enthält. Der Salt Tower war einer der Türme in der Festung, in denen regelmäßig Gefangene im Tower eingesperrt waren. Hier saß unter anderem der schottische König John Balliol. Sehr empfehlenswerter Turm.😃

    The Tower has been in my family history since the early 1400s, my grandfathers were constables at the tower, one grandfather was beheaded there in 1547 and my 2nd cousins Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard also met the same fate. The chance to visit doesn't present itself often due to commitments, however, yesterday was such a day. I'd been chatting with the governor and the curator recently and I seized the moment of opportunity to visit. We parked the car in the Tower Hill Coach and Car-Park just a few minutes walk to the Tower, there were no queues as one might usually expect, as due to COVID-19 you have to pre-book with a time-slot. Well, we arrived 15 minutes early and were let straight in. There was a small bag search on the way in but everyone was socially distanced. Once inside there were no Yeoman warders giving guided tours of course, which is fully understandable, but due to a lack of visitors there was also no "crush" to see elements of the tower and we could, at leisure make our way around the tower soaking up the history. At certain points, there were Yeoman warders who were more than happy to chat about history and we learnt quite a few new things yesterday. A special mention to Yeoman Warder Briggs and Yeoman Sergeant Fuller who were very helpful indeed. The crown jewels are usually heaving, queued for ages, but we were able to just walk on in, and linger to view at our leisure, even go up and down the travelator a few times. Accessibility wise, I took my mobility scooter and it was a nightmare on the cobbled streets, a real bone-shaker, but doable. The Disabled toilets behind the jewel house were spotless and worthy of a 5* alone. We couldn't go in the white tower due to mobility issues, but it didn't make for any less an enjoyable visit. If you want to visit.... now is the time to do so

    Fascinating history, guided tours are amazing and definitely worth while so you can learn more about what you are looking at. Lots of information around the tower though. Make sure you look at the map so you don't miss any sections as it can get quite confusing as to where you've been. The gift shop is full of lovely souvenirs.

  • 5/5 kenneth g. 4 months ago on Google • 119 reviews
    A great day out. Its worth getting there for opening and going straight to see the Crown jewels. That way there will be minimal queues and you may get to spend longer in the crowns room than you would later on. The rest of the Tower is great and an amazing deep dive in the English history. You really should go at least once in your life. If you do everything it’s easily a whole day.

    Must visit and full of history. During peak season ( we visited during weekends) be prepared to spend 3-4 hours. Crown jewels are amazing and you have queues for the same. We just loved the award winning ice cream sold in front of crown jewels building. Few characters were running plays for kids as well. Enough seats to rest while walking as well. Dont forget to check the ravens.

    Visiting the Crown Jewels is so Amazing! Seeing them and the armory in the White Tower was my favorite parts of seeing the Amazing Tower of London. The historical significance of these landmarks is palpable, and the Crown Jewels, in particular, were breathtaking in their opulence. The White Tower's architecture and its role in English history were fascinating to explore. The popularity of the site meant large crowds, which occasionally made it hard to fully appreciate the exhibits. The limited availability of water and food was a drawback, and it's advisable to come prepared. Moreover, the queues for the restroom were quite long, which could be inconvenient. Despite these minor inconveniences, the visit was entirely worthwhile. The Tower of London offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and immerse oneself in centuries of British history. The informative guides and interactive displays added depth to the experience, making it educational as well as visually captivating. For anyone with an interest in history and royalty, a visit to the Tower of London is a must.

    There is sooo much to do in here, a bit pricey but well worth it, try to go in the summer time but out of school times or if the kids have an inset day as you'll almost get the place to yourself and spend the day exploring. Listen to some else's tour as the guides in there are brilliant and so knowledgeable. Did you know who has been locked up in the tower apart from kings and queens?? ask a guide you'll be surprise who! and go see the armour and Henrys codpiece ;-). the ground inside are wonderful and the ravens are entertainment on their own. The beefeater have many secrets so don't be afraid to ask- but you must keep it a secret. And the cherry on the cake is the crown jewels. I was not a big fan of looking at jewellery before but these are something else!!! absolutely gob smacked by these and they are so beautiful and they sparkle like nothing else you've ever seen. But caution is advised, 1 star because of the experience at the ticket office and ticket inspection gate, me and my family unwillingly educated on how to be civilised human beings, and how to function normally in a democratic society, we so got told. Blatantly called theives in front of our children, only because we decided to take up on a local offer for local residents. The sighs and eye twirls we got at the ticket office for taking up on this scheme was an experience in its self. Going through the tower gate felt like going through border controls into North Korea, with a feeling we would all be frog marched back out through traitors gate. Avoid people avoid, stay away and save yourself the unnecessary embarrassment. Not recommended at all. I will be telling everyone I know to stay away. The Tower of London is something I would always look at with pride every time I would drive by, not anymore. See attached image.

    Tower of London is one of the prominent visiting place in London and also important for Kohinoor diamond placed here. There's a room downstairs which had a display of wonderful pieces of armour, including a shield in the shape of a golden lion. Ordinarily I would have stayed there for ages admiring the lion, but we had to get out because the room had a weird dead feel, like a wound that had been swabbed clean and then packed with cotton wool. Lots of ghost stories are associated with Tower of London.

    This is the quintessential iconic location in London if not even England. This mesmerising attraction is full of historic traditions which will blow you away. This has everything you ever imagined and more from the Jewel room to the Beef Eaters to the changing of the guard. It is truly worth the entrance fee as your mind will be transported back through 900 years worth of stories and tales. I highly recommend this location if you are ever in London.

    Steeped in history, I visited London and missed this gem and I wasn't making the same mistake twice. Got my tickets online, very easy to buy. Staff are very informative and even had a free tour-like thing. From the best Yeoman Warder Scott Kelly, Beefeater 409 😉 amazing to know what servitude and dedication they do for this country to get where they are now. So much to see and lots of picture moments. Great for family or couples or on your own. Advise anyone to visit if you're there!

    Absolutely stellar experience, and for only 1 pound if you have a library card and proof of address! The Beefeaters are magnificent tour guides and generally pleasant people, the exhibits are breathtaking, and the history of this place is richer even than the Crowned Jewels you'll find inside. Definitely an experience not to be missed!

    If walls could talk, this ancient stronghold would have the most incredible stories to tell. Steeped in tales of death, torture and bloodthirsty intent, the Tower of London is where two princes disappeared under the reign of Richard III and Anne Boleyn was imprisoned and executed. Highlights from the foreboding fortress include the Bloody Tower, Traitor’s Gate where Tudor prisoners were brought by barge and the mesmerising Crown Jewels.

    We were there with kids, they loved to see the armors, the queen's jewels and crown. They also loved the guards! The cafeteria is very good, has some comfort food options and not just fast food. They also have very good options for kids. Be prepared to face some 20 to 30 minutes in line to see the crown 👑!

    The Tower of London is a well done historical location that tells the history and yet still plays an active role in protecting the crown jewels. For us the two best By having the displays of the Crown Jewels in the middle, it allowed the crowds to get sorted out and everyone knew what you were waiting for. We were there at about 1030am and had to wait 20 minutes. If it's raining you will be waiting in the elements during this time, the queue is in the middle of the yard. The queue moved quickly and it very organized. There were lots of school tours on the day we were in which meant lots of energy in the room. The crown jewels were a high point for us. Even the empty crowns are impressive but you have to seem them in person to really understand. We ride the conveyor belt by amd looked and then, went back in the viewing deck and read about the items, with the new inclusion of King Charles III and then went through again and it was even better. The emeralds, sapphires, and rubies pop, but the diamonds are the stars. The White Tower warns visitors about the numbers of stairs they will be climbing ... you climb them a few floors at a time and look at the exhibits but when you come down, it's from the top to the bottom in a tight spiral, which means that there are not breaks and a queue behind you. The White Tower with the cannons, munitions, abundance of armor and story of the Kings' armor were impressive. The dungeons, ramparts, and stories are all very good. We liked the jewels and White Tower best.

    Amazing piece of history. The stories, the white tower and armoury and the Crown Jewels. Kids loved it. Although I’d eat before you go in or get something after as it’s a 3 hour visit and the food was over priced and below average in the main cafe.

    One of the best preserved structures in the whole of UK, this castle is really fascinating to explore. With child- friendly and entertaining tours this place is friendly and welcoming. Storing the precious crown jewels💎 to ancient armour🪖 this area's history is most interesting to discover. This castle🏰 also stores some dark, gruesome secrets hiding behind the walls. All together I would really recommend having a visit one day.

    Fantastic history. Beef eaters were brilliant at informing us of the history of the place. He made it so entertaining. Made us laugh. There are many stairs to climb. Looking at the beautiful crowns and museums to walk around were educational. Worth visiting.

    What an amazing place. So much history with appropriate covid 19 measures in place. The beefeaters were amazing despite no guided tours being allowed ( due to covid 19). A truly great day out that the whole family enjoyed

    I’m a fan of medieval England, so this was a must. However, all that really remains is the history as this place has obviously (and for good reason) but updated/ renovated. Worth a stop for sure. Kids will enjoy.

    This is such a fun place to visit whether you are Londoner or a tourist. Walking though the gates abs over the moat like like stepping back in time. The Yeoman Warders (staff) are super knowledgeable and happy to chat about the history of the area. Each building tells its own story. It is a little pricey at £25 per adult so not the cheapest day out for the family.

    I lived in London for 10 years and embarrassingly, regretfully (and cheaply) never visited it because it had an entrance fee. But after visiting Hampton Court Palace, I had the annual membership that allowed me to have unlimited visits for one year to Tower of London, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace and Banquet Hall. If you live in London or planning to visit all these places above, the membership is way more cheaper than the single one time ticket. And of course they also have the crown jewels inside other than the fat well fed ravens.

    (Translated by Google) The Tower of London TOWER OF LONDON, is one of the medieval castles in England, built at the end of 1066. Visitors can enter for free if they hold a LONDON PASS ticket. The Tower of London has become one of the world cultural heritage. The Tower of London is often written in novels as a place where prisoners are closed, which is the prison of Wang Gong princes. But the prison is actually only one of them, there is also the execution ground, where the king often comes to have banquets. This is also a bloody place for their power struggle. The most famous of these is the Queen Anne Boleyn of King Henry VIII of England, who was convicted of 18 counts of adultery and treason and beheaded at the Tower of London... But today it has become a must-see attraction when visiting London. It is a popular place to check in with the Tower Bridge next door, the London Eye of Millennium, the financial district... We are the last day of the group tour, visiting the British Museum, Tower of London, Thames River Cruise, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and more. So the Tower of London is also the focus. We have audio guides provided by a tour guide. Ticket purchase enters the queue control. The average queue is about 30 minutes to enter the tour, so during the queue, you can take pictures before and after. You can also take photos with role-playing ancient clothes worn by Londoners. The queen's jewelry and crown are just appreciation for us as ordinary people. . It can be seen from it that the prosperity of a country, the sun never sets, the empire must be named. The last monarch who lived in Tower of London was James I (1566/1625). Today's royal family Queen Elizabeth and her family have moved from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace in downtown London and Windsor in the suburbs of London. Lord, but currently the Tower of London still has guards to protect the royal residences. In addition to maintaining traditions, the priceless jewels also serve as a considerable foreign exchange income for the admission of the Tower of London. (Original) 倫敦塔 TOWER OF LONDON,是英國中古世紀城堡之一,建於1066年底。遊客如果持 LONDON PASS 票根可以免費入場。倫敦塔至今已成為世界文化遺產之一。 倫敦塔常常被寫進小說裡是作用於- 關上等犯人的地方,也就是王功諸侯的監獄。但監獄其實只是其中的一地方,還有刑場,與國王常來開宴會的地方。這裡也是他們的權力之爭、血腥之地。其中最有名的就是英國國王亨利八世的皇后安妮博林,被冠上共 18 項通姦叛國罪名,於倫敦塔被斬首… 但時至今日已經變成一個造訪倫敦不可錯過的景點。與隔壁的倫敦塔橋、千喜年的倫敦之眼、金融區… 圈成一個熱門打卡之地。 我們是團體旅遊的最後一天,參觀 大英博物館、倫敦塔、泰晤士河遊船、西敏寺、國會大廈、大笨鐘、白金漢宮等。所以倫敦塔也是重點看。 我們有導遊的語音導覽,購票進入排隊管制,平均排隊約30分鐘左右才能進入參觀,所以排隊期間,就可以前後左右的拍照。還可以跟角色扮演的倫敦市民穿著的古代衣服合照。 女王的珠寶、皇冠對於尋常百姓的我們,就是欣賞。。從其中看出一個國家的興盛,日不落帝國非得虛名。 倫敦塔城堡最後一任住在裡面的君主為詹姆士一世(1566/1625 年),今日的王室伊莉莎白女王與其家人已從倫敦塔搬至倫敦市區的白金漢宮及倫敦近郊的溫莎堡為主,但目前倫敦塔仍派有衛兵保護的王室官邸除了保持傳統外,價值連城的珠寶也為開放倫敦塔的門票作為一筆可觀的外匯收入。

    (Translated by Google) It is a must-visit place that comes to mind when you think of London. I had a great time. You can get great photos in front of its guards, except for the Crown Jewels. There are beautiful views across the river from the wall around the castle. Anyone who studies English history should visit this Tower and the nearby Bridge. You can see the Royal jewels, dungeons, living quarters, gardens and walls around this castle. The Royal Jewels are breathtaking. It's also possible to see all the ancient armor and weapons from the monarchies of the past. Elizabeth II's Crown is incredibly dazzling and helps you understand what the Royal Institution in the UK is.

    The Salt Tower is one of the 21 towers that make up the Tower of London complex. It was built at the end of the 1230s and is part of the set of modifications requested by King Henry III. Built in the south-eastern corner of the fortress, the salt tower dominates the Thames. The salt tower was originally known as the Tower of Julius Caesar and later, the Tower of Baliol. It is possible that the tower was called "Tower of salt" because the salt was extremely expensive and could only be obtained by the greatest nobility. It is possible that the salt was traditionally stored in this tower. The salt tower is double, like several towers of this kind in the fortress. It is essentially circular in shape, modest in diameter, but a second, more defensive square tower has been added. The roofs are crenellated. Inside the tower there is a basement with a two-storey dungeon, plus a floor later added. The ground floor of the salt tower was used as a warehouse, when upstairs it is a pentagonal shaped room with a huge stone fireplace of the thirteenth century and a decorative window. The hall has many graffiti made by prisoners on its walls. It is also possible to read the different types of treatment received by prisoners detained there. The prison of the King of Scotland John Balliol Among the prisoners held in the salt tower are John Balliol, king of the Scots, imprisoned by Edward I. Balliol was crowned at Scone in 1292. His reign was short and difficult because he was taken between Edward I and the Scottish nobles who humiliated him. He was nicknamed Tom Tabbard, or "The empty mantle". The Scottish lords took power from his hands and in 1295 he had to ally himself with Philipe of France. This alliance provoked a confrontation between Edward and himself. Edward swept him away, invaded Scotland in 1296, and robbed John Balliol of his power. Imprisoned at the Tower for three years, Balliol was finally released and was able to go to his family land in Bailleu, France, in July 1299, where he remained until his death in April 1313 at the age of 63 years.

    Το Βασιλικό Παλάτι και Φρούριο της Αυτής Μεγαλειότητας, πιο κοινώς γνωστό ως Πύργος του Λονδίνου, είναι ιστορικό κάστρο στη βόρεια όχθη του Τάμεση στο κεντρικό Λονδίνο, στην Αγγλία. Βρίσκεται μέσα στο Διαμέρισμα Τάουερ Άμλετς του Λονδίνου, χωριζόμενο από την αριστερή όχθη του Σίτι του Λονδίνου με τον ανοιχτό χώρο που είναι γνωστός ως Τάουερ Χιλ. Ιδρύθηκε προς το τέλος του 1066 ως μέρος της Νορμανδικής Κατάκτησης της ΑγγλίαςΤο 1066, οι Νορμανδοί κατέλαβαν την Αγγλία. Ο Νορμανδός βασιλιάς, Γουλιέλμος ο Κατακτητής, επέλεξε το Λονδίνο ως πρωτεύουσα της χώρας. Για να ελέγχει την πόλη, αποφάσισε να κατασκευάσει ένα μεγάλο οχυρό εκεί όπου τελείωναν τα παλιά ρωμαϊκά τείχη. Το φρούριο αυτό ονομάστηκε Λευκός Πύργος, εξαιτίας του χρώματος της πέτρας του. Τους τρεις επόμενους αιώνες, χτίστηκε γύρω του ένα πελώριο οχυρωματικό σύμπλεγμα, προστατευμένο από τείχη και τάφρο, το οποίο ονομάστηκε Πύργος του Λονδίνου. Αρχικά το κάστρο ήταν το κέντρο της μοναρχικής εξουσίας, αλλά και ένα καταφύγιο για την βασιλική οικογένεια σε ταραγμένες περιόδους. Αργότερα, μετατράπηκε σε μια τρομερή φυλακή, όπως επίσης και σε αποθήκη όπλων και πολύτιμων αντικειμένων.

    (Translated by Google) The Tower of London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, becoming a symbol of the oppression in London by the new ruling elite. From 1100 at least, the castle was used as a prison, although this was not the primary purpose.

    A good outing with family of 2 kids. My 8yo daughter was particularly excited to know the history of various animals that once were housed here. Most people visit to see the jewels, so expect bit of a crowd there. Clicking photos of jewels is not allowed, though you can carry your phone/cameras inside. Other than the jewels area, you are free to take pictures. And yes, this is where you see the famous Kohinoor.

    I have not visited here for about 20 years and decided it was time to come back. I wasn't disappointed. The Beefeater tour is highly recommended (included in the entry fee). It gives you a head start and knowledge of the tower's history before you venture off on your own. The layout makes it quite easy so you do not miss any key areas. The White Tower is an absolute must as this is where the real history of the tower begins. I personally was quite underwhelmed by the crown jewels and luckily didn't queue long for the visit. If you do encounter ling queues, you might want to skip this part. A really enjoyable experience overall and would highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved the Tower of London!! The tickets were affordable and actually really beautiful with gold embossing. The tours happened frequently throughout the day and are conducted by the yeomen or "beefeaters" in full uniform. These folks are certainly one of the best things about the Tower of London! Our yoeman was absolutely hilarious and told lots of really interesting stories, including how she came to become a yeoman and live in the Tower of London! It's so exciting to walk the same steps as kings and queens for hundreds of years! The gift shops are fantastic, and you could spend the entire day there just looking at all the beautiful buildings. This is where the crown jewels are on display. You are able to walk around freely and look inside all the castle rooms! This was definitely the highlight of our time in London. Highly recommend!

Wonderful views of the city, Thames and Tower Bridge as well.

    I remember visiting Tower of London when I was a child. Don’t know if a lot has changed, but all I could remember from back then, is a jewels room. I remember standing in a big queue to see them. But guess what, I went there now and Tower of London is not only about the treasures that are there. You have to walk the wall, visit the actual tower and explore everything. The place is simply amazing. I have enjoyed every minute spent there. Tower of London is a must if you visiting London or living here and never went to visit. Tickets at the office could be dearer, so I would advise buying them before hand online. If you travelling by train, you cold probably get 2 for 1 tickets. (Check National rail web site) Prices for entry are a bit high, but it worth every penny. If you have disability, carer ticket is free.

    It's an absolutely amazing place ,Certainly a must see if you are traveling to London! The history of the Tower is hard to comprehend when you consider that the place is older than the United States. Lots of history to take in from the jail cells, torture machines, to the tower, the ravens, and all of the armament, weapons and cannons to see. The Tower also has the Crown Jewels on display. I would plan to arrive early if you do not wish to stand in line for extended periods to see the Crown Jewels. They are worth seeing though…especially if you want to see diamonds, emeralds and sapphires the size of golf balls. Unfortunately, photos of the jewels are not allowed or I would post some. As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs, narrow spiraling staircases and some narrow corridors to walk through. That said, it was certainly one of the many highlights on our London trip. I’ve seen people give estimates of time for this visit. I would say 3-4 hours is probably a good estimate (not including a long waiting time in line for jewels). We read some of the signage on displays and then just passed by others. If you are the type who reads it all, maybe longer.

    Wow, the Tower of London was even more incredible than I imagined! From the moment I walked through the gates, I felt transported back in time. The Yeoman Warders were fantastic storytellers, bringing the castle's rich history to life with humor and enthusiasm. The Crown Jewels were, of course, a highlight – it's hard to believe they're real! But I also loved exploring the White Tower, wandering the medieval walls, and even spotting a few ravens (those cheeky birds!). Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique London experience, the Tower of London is a must-see. Just be prepared to be amazed! Tips for your visit: * Get your tickets online beforehand to skip the queues, especially during peak season. * Take advantage of the free Yeoman Warder tours – they're the best way to learn about the castle's secrets. * Allow plenty of time to explore – there's so much to see and do. * Wear comfortable shoes – you'll be doing a lot of walking. I hope this helps! Have a fantastic time at the Tower of London!

    I can't recommend a visit to the Tower of London more highly. A fantastic historic palace, packed with lots of history and fun things to explore. Make sure you wear suitable shoes/trainers as there is so much to explore and the cobbles can be uneven. I used the national rail 2 for 1 voucher and queued less than a minute to by my tickets so there is no need to buy tickets online. Make sure you get a tour from one of the Yeoman Warders, they will be a highlight of your visit. Audio guides are a paid extra £5 for adults and £4 did children. I'd recommend getting an audio guide as there is so much to see, it's very helpful to listen to the history as you visit each part. Food onsite appeared to be quite expensive. We took our own packed lunch and sat at some tables outside the gift shop. If you travel by tube, head left when you come out of the station and then head right under the underpass which is decorated with great art work about famous people from the Tower. Check out the Roman wall and head right along the moat to the ticket office.

    A small slice of London history - rich in cultural practices and a definite must-visit for everyone who steps foot in London city. Whether you are a tourist visiting from abroad or a local Londoner that has never been, you will certainly learn a lot about the rich history within the walls of this thousand year old fortress. The Crown Jewels alone are a good enough reason to visit but the best reason to visit would be the wonderful yeomen; the beefeaters are certainly a wonderful bunch of human beings - an amazing day out for the whole family.

    £25 per adult is a little steep for a place that needs to deliver more. The start of the show are the crown jewels.

    I love this place. The unique atmosphere of bygone eras and an interesting history at every step. During the visit, we were counting on fewer people, but unfortunately we had to queue for individual attractions. We stood in line for the royal insignia exhibition for a particularly long time, but I think it was worth it. I strongly recommend to visit The Tower of London.

    Tower of London The Tower of London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was also used as a prison from 1100 until 1952,  although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under kings Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site. The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II in the 17th century, a procession would be led from the Tower to Westminster Abbey on the coronation of a monarch. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower is in charge of the castle. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period. In the late 15th century, the castle was the prison of the Princes in the Tower. Under the Tudors, the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle, its defensive systems lagged behind developments to deal with artillery. The peak period of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures who had fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Elizabeth Throckmorton, were held within its walls. This use has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower". Despite its enduring reputation as a place of torture and death, popularised by 16th-century religious propagandists and 19th-century writers, only seven people were executed within the Tower before the World Wars of the 20th century. Executions were more commonly held on the notorious Tower Hill to the north of the castle, with 112 occurring there over a 400-year period. In the latter half of the 19th century, institutions such as the Royal Mint moved out of the castle to other locations, leaving many buildings empty. Anthony Salvin and John Taylor took the opportunity to restore the Tower to what was felt to be its medieval appearance, clearing out many of the vacant post-medieval structures.

    The tower is definitely a stop for anyone visiting London. Personally recommend the Thames ferry or whatever they use to see the sights up river to visit the Tower. Inside are a variety of artifacts throughout British history including some of King Henry VIII armors and a separate building on premises holds the crown jewels. Photography in that building is a no but anywhere else is fine. As for food and drink, there was a good fish and chips stand nearby when I was there. No real downside apart from London traffic and weather but amazing historical location.

    a LONDONI TOWER, UK. A Tower (ejtsd: táuör, az angol szó jelentése torony) több erődített részből álló középkori épületegyüttes London belvárosában a Temze partján, amely az idők során erődítmény, fegyverraktár, királyi palota és főrendű foglyoknak szánt börtön, valamint levéltár és csillagvizsgáló is volt. I. Jakabig minden király és királynő itt lakott. Még utána is az volt a szokás, hogy az uralkodó a Towerben töltötte a koronázása előtti éjszakát és innen vitték díszkísérettel a Westminsterbe. Jelenleg a Towerben őrzik a brit koronaékszereket, valamint egy gazdag fegyvergyűjteményt. A Towerről nevezték el az 1894-ben épült szomszédos hidat (Tower Bridge), amely azonban történelmileg és funkciójában egyaránt független tőle. A Towert 1078-ban alapították, amikor Hódító Vilmos elrendelte a Fehér Torony építését a városfal délkeleti sarkánál, a Temze mellett. Ez egyidejűleg védte a normannokat a londoni városlakóktól és Londont a külső támadóktól. Vilmos külön erre a célra Franciaországból hozatta a köveket, és építészként a rochesteri püspököt, Gundulphot nevezte ki. Egyes írók a Towert korábbinak gondolták (Shakespeare is ezt állítja a III. Richárd című darabjában) és azt állították, hogy Julius Caesar építtette. Ez a római eredet azonban csak legenda, mint ahogy az is, hogy az építésnél használt meszet vadállatok vérével oltották. A 12. században Oroszlánszívű Richárd fallal és vizesárokkal vette körül a Fehér Tornyot. Az árkot a Temze vizével töltette fel. Az árok akkor lett igazán használható, amikor a III. Henrik holland technikával alakíttatta át. Szintén III. Henrik volt az, aki megerősíttette a külső falakat. Az erődítési munkákat 1275 és 1285 között I. Edward fejeztette be, aki a meglévők mellé még egy védelmi vonalat építtetett, feltöltette az árkot és egy új árkot ásatott a külső körfalon kívül. Ezt az árkot 1830-ban szárították ki és emberi csontokat találtak az alján. HOLLÓK, Évszázadok óta legalább hat (jelenleg nyolc) holló lakozik a Towerban, de azt, hogy mikor költöztek ide, nem lehet pontosan megállapítani. II. Károly elrendelte az elköltöztetésüket, amikor távcsövén meglátta nyomaikat. Erre azonban nem került sor, mert – a legenda szerint – ha a hollók elhagyják a Towert, elpusztul a Tower, a monarchia, sőt az egész birodalom. Mivel Károly az angol polgárháború közben nem akarta vállalni a kockázatot, a hollók maradtak. Az egyedüli időszak, amikor feljegyezték, hogy a hollók nincsenek ott, 1946-ban, röviddel a második világháború után történt. 2006-ban a madárinfluenza miatt a hollókat fedett helyre zárták, de 2006 augusztusától ismét szabadon közlekedhetnek a Tower udvarán. A hollók szárnyát megkurtítják, hogy ne tudjanak elrepülni. A Tower ma leginkább turistalátványosság. Maguk az épületek mellett további érdeklődésre tartanak számot a brit koronaékszerek, a királyi fegyvergyűjtemény, és a római erőd falmaradványai. Az őrök, akiket Yeomen Warder-nek, vagy Beefeater-nek, marhahúsevőknek neveznek, egyben idegenvezetők is, és maguk is turistalátványosságnak számítanak. Az őrök minden este végrehajtják a Kulcsok Szertartását, és a tornyot bezárják éjszakára. A Towerhez tartoznak az alábbi tornyok (angol név szerinti ábécésorrendben): Beauchamp Tower Bell Tower (Harang-torony) Bloody Tower (Véres torony) Bowyer Tower Brick Tower (Tégla-torony) Broad Arrow Tower Byward Tower Constable Tower Cradle Tower Develin Tower Deveraux Tower Flint Tower Lanthorn Tower Martin Tower Middle Tower (Középső torony) St. Thomas's Tower (Szent Tamás-torony) Salt Tower (Só-torony) Wakefield Tower Wardrobe Tower Well Tower White Tower (Fehér torony)

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. It was the king and he said, don't kill any of the ravens or England will fall!!! Which is utter nonsense as only Mrs. Hudson leaving baker street would cause England to fall...duh... But seriously, it's like a stroll back in time You'll see ravens, n buildings, and jewels oh my! No, the crown jewels, geez, can't tell you lot anything. Just go see the place ;-)

    11/10/20 It's good to see a recent review of the Tower of London. When I was there, words like Social Distancing, Fake News and Coronavirus did not exist in the same sentence. Certainly the name Corona beer will never be thought of the same way without reflecting on the name Coronavirus. Still, the history of The Tower Of London is a wonderful attraction people today, but not so much for the prisoners and... this just in, The Tower Of London would rather I use the word "GUESTS instead of prisoners." The chopping block still didn't have grass growing there, but I wondered if it was done like that on purpose. I heard the shorten story of Anne Boleyn who did not wish to have her neck chopped more than once. She requested it be done by professional swordsman. She got her wish. Quick and clean instead two or three blows. The words interrogation or enhancement interrogation meant the same thing to mostly all prisoners...prison, torture and death. Your statues is what saved many nobles gruesome deaths, but death nevertheless. If you made it out of The Tower Of London once, you did not want to have a repeat incident. However, some people were repeat offenders. I Guess torture, prison or death won't scare hardened criminals. I don't remember the shops all too much now, but I am sure they had some nice mementos when I was there. I did buy something, but I have no idea where that item is today. Oh, I did you see the changing of the guard. I did get photos of this event, but don't know where those old photos are now. The idea to get a picture with the London Guards came to mind and I did get my photos, but those photos are gone now. I did get the idea to mess with the guards, but thought better of it. God knows a lot of people did. I saw people doing this when we were there. It did not turn out so good for those people. Let's remember those guns they are holding are not there for show. A lot of people want to see the guards break character. 99% of the time this isn't going to happen. How many people mess with the guards at The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier in Washington DC? Being here back in 1998 was awesome. Even though it rained on and off during the day, it stopped raining when we got to our destinations. I look forwards to my wife seeing London England. I know she'll fine this historical site smashing:)

    William the Conqueror’s Norman fortress, royal palace, notorious prison, and treasury of the British monarchs. In 1066, William the Conqueror took the English crown at the Battle of Hastings. As part of the ongoing conquest of England, he built a series of castles from which his Norman followers could dominate the country. The most impressive was the fortress built on the banks of the River Thames in London. At the heart of this fortress was a solid, square keep, known from the 13th century as the White Tower after it was whitewashed on the orders of King Henry III. Constructed in stone brought from Caen, France, between c.1078 and 1100, the massive tower measured 118 by 107 ft (36 by 33 m). It had walls that were 15 ft (4.6 m) thick at the base, and it rose to a height of 90 ft (27.5 m). The Tower of London was three times as tall as its neighbors and gave its name to the whole castle complex. Dominating the landscape—it was the first structure seen when arriving in London by boat—it served as a potent reminder of the city’s defeat to the Norman invaders. Strengthened fortifications. In the 13th century, Henry III and Edward I expanded William’s fortress with the addition of concentric rings of “curtain walls” (defensive walls) and towers, a moat, and the Traitor’s Gate. Among the additions was the infamous Bloody Tower, where Henry VI was murdered in 1471 and where Edward IV’s two sons disappeared, perhaps killed, in 1483. Later monarchs added more buildings to the Tower. In 1826, the Constable of the Tower, the Duke of Wellington, began modernizing the site, draining the moat and closing the Royal Menagerie, created by King John in the 13th century and once home to lions, bears, and elephants. Witness to battles and beheadings, the Tower has served as a prison, a royal residence, home to the Royal Mint, and an armory, and has been the repository of Britain’s priceless Crown Jewels since 1600.

    (Translated by Google) It is located on the north bank of the Thames and consists of several buildings from different times, surrounded by high, fortified walls on which there are towers. This is one of the oldest buildings in the UK and if you are in London, be sure to see it. The white tower was originally built in the early 11th century. It also served as a prison, a place of public executions. Thomas More and Anne Boleyn were executed there and buried in the chapel. For two months, the future Queen Elizabeth I was imprisoned in the tower on charges of participating in a riot. The history of the tower is long and interesting - it was also a palace of the monarchs, there was a mint, an observatory and an archive. You can see several exhibits, do not miss the royal treasures, the crowns will impress you, as well as the weapons collection in the military museum. (Original) Намира се на северния бряг на Темза и се състои от няколко сгради от различно време, обградени от високи, укрепени стени, на които има разположени кули. Това е една от най-старите сгради във Великобритания и ако сте в Лондон, не пропускайте да я видите. Първоначално е изградена бялата кула, в началото на XI век. Служила е и като затвор, била е място на публични екзекуции. Там са екзекутирани Томас Мор и Ан Болейн, погребани са в параклиса. За два месеца в кулата е била затворена и бъдещата кралица Елизабет I по обвинение за участие в бунт. Дълга и интересна е историята на кулата – била е и дворец на монарсите, имало е монетен двор, обсерватория и архив. Няколко експозиции може да разгледате, не пропускайте кралските съкровища, короните ще ви впечатлят, както и оръжейната сбирка във военния музей.

    Had a really good afternoon at the Tower, our Beefeater guide was excellent giving us all the facts and stories regarding its history in a fun and interesting way. The Crown Jewels were dazzling and with the other exhibitions we spent four hours looking around and probably could have spent longer. The views from the walls of the Tower were also good.

  • 4/5 Adie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good day out; lots to see and learn. Loved the Crown jewels, the White Tower and the Torture at the Tower exhibitions. The £30 entrance fee is a little steep, however. Be warned - for anyone with mobility problems, there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs. Highly suggest getting an audio guide as there is so much info.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love it! This was my second time and I enjoyed it even more. Definitely join in on the tours. The Tower of London has something for everyone: history, comedy, interactive history, activities for children, the Crown Jewels, an amazing castle, knights in shining armor, weapon museums, religion, etc.

  • 5/5 Ian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic family day out, lots to see and learn. The Beefeaters were very entertaining and had lots of character. Covid rules were in place in all of the rooms were crowds were allowed and hand cleansing stations practically everywhere. Felt very safe. Also nice just to sit around and people watch.

  • 5/5 Tim V. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! What a great day out. Ticket prices for a good 3-4 hours in the tower are good value! Since lockdown time slots are allocated and this makes the whole experience a lot better as there are few crowds. Fantastic day, well worth it!

  • 5/5 Ed L. 2 years ago on Google
    With Lockdown only just lifting this was a great day out for the family. If you want a real enjoyable way to get there use the river taxi. Once inside the White Towers grounds you will be surprised how big the place is and the number of things to see. Really enjoyed the day, made ever so more fun by the Beefeaters banter. Thank you all who work the Tower.

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great visit to the tower. I always thought it was a bit overpriced but after visiting it's well worth it. Beautiful grounds, loads to see, can spend all day here. So much history I knew nothing about. The Jewels are spectacular as are the other exhibits. The Ravens are charming and get up close to you. Good time to visit now as there's less visitors, go early before 11am and it's less crowded and you can see everything easily. Go to the Jewels first before it starts to queue up. It's the No1 attraction and I would agree. Must see if in London.

  • 5/5 Nicki B. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my visit to the Tower of London. It was made special because I went on a tour with a Yeoman warden (beefeater). He was interesting, informative and funny. It took about 45 minutes and we walked to different area's while he explained the history. He even made it interesting for the young children in our party. Then we were able to explore the area's at our leisure. My favourite was seeing the crown jewels and the life size horses and armour worn. The building was much bigger than I expected and very beautiful. There is a shop and fantastic photo opportunities. Even if you don't like history you will be in awe of this place. I thought it was well worth the £30 to get in.

  • 5/5 Kirsty G. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked tickets online and the process for getting in at our allocated time was really quick and easy. Everyone was super friendly and the signs were easily located to find everything. It's quite big to walk around, with windy stairs and lots of steps up to places sometimes but there are signs telling you this so you can determine if you're able to or not. It wasn't too busy, so there was easily more than enough space for everyone with the restrictions. It was a great day out!

  • 5/5 sam m. 2 years ago on Google

    Fabulous visitor attraction, highly recommend a visit if you're in the capital. Real enthusiasm from staff to inform and educate if you want, but obviously you can explore on your own. Nice cafe and clean wc's. Perfect spot to view Tower Bridge and to relax and have an aperitif by the river after your visit.

  • 5/5 Pamela B. 2 years ago on Google
    We go here at least every two years, it's just so interesting and historic, beefeater walk tour very interesting and funny, and you can see the Crown jewels! You need a good few hours to see everything this Tower has to offer, I'd you love history this is the place to go!

    There are some quite interesting things, but some defiantely are there just to fill up space. Signage is poor - need to have eyes around your head to find entrance to some things. Map, which you can pick up at entrance, is showing location and not the entrance to it. Exit from many buildings leads through the store.

  • 5/5 Paige P. 2 years ago on Google

    Just so much history to take in you won't believe it! Over a thousand years of history right in front of your eyes. The tours are given by extremely knowledgeable men and women who have served their country so faithfully and are really proud of their positions guarding the historic tower. Go early if you want to see the crown jewels easily as it gets crowded and there is a line later in the day. It was worth every second we spent there and every penny of the entrance ticket! You cannot miss the crown jewel in London's historic buildings!

  • 5/5 T S. 2 years ago on Google
    So cool!!! During COVID a lot of castles have been closed. Plus in the winter time, some castles close as well anyway. We were so happy that this place was a) not closed and b) in amazing condition (of course.) I do recommend going here in the winter because it’s definitely not as crowded. I would also suggest going there first thing in the morning. We were there by 9:30 and had the place to ourself practically. Apparently there can be long lines to see the Crown Jewels. There were maybe five people in the room where the Crown Jewels were. I rode the moving walkway twice to get another look at the crowns, scepter, orb, etc… I had it all to myself! It was great. I also recommend getting the audio guide. It’s like £5 a person or £14.99 for a family of four. It’s possible that you won’t get in on the tour with the beefeater, so by having a little audio tour, you know what you are looking and you know what’s significant. The Tower of London was definitely one of the best things we did in London! Don’t miss it!

  • 5/5 Lauren R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool experience. I thought it would be too gimmicky but it wasn’t at all. I only wish it wasn’t raining the whole time we were there since there is a lot of outdoor walking. The ravens were my favorite!

  • 5/5 annette o. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great afternoon here. We chose a great day for it! It was sunny and there were very few people. We did the free tour with the Beefeater - it was about half an hour and very funny and interesting. He was also the Raven Master. The Crown Jewels were amazing. The gift shop had something for everyone. There’s a lot of walking and standing. It’s good value for what it is.

  • 4/5 Chithalka A. 1 year ago on Google
    Loads of information on the history of the British Monarch. The crown Jewels were good but nothing much. The display in Sweden was much better

  • 5/5 vivek g. 1 year ago on Google
    This is certainly worth a visit, though at 30£, it is pretty steep. As you leave tower hill tube station, turn right and cross road. Left turn will take you to tower bridge. The crown jewels are the best part. Other rooms are like any other room, except for the history associated with it. You can spend two hours or six hours, depending upon your inclination. Good clean toilets. Animal replicas are amateurish. Picturesque wardens and coldstream guards add visual spice Fusiliers museum is good. Lots of bronze cannon around

  • 5/5 Beth S. 1 year ago on Google
    A truly worthy journey! The armory and Crown Jewels were quite the display of master craftsmanship that has surrounded the monarchy for hundreds of years. The reverence for those who were murdered here was nice to experience - especially all these years past.

    Went for the Superbloom event in the most. Really peaceful and quiet considering where you are. The slide was amazing but just one go was a little stingy!! It's so nice that they are going to let the flowers seed and keep this area flowering for years to come. Great place for a quiet hour watching the bees buzz by.

  • 5/5 Ivana K. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fascinating place! So much to see and the history is amazing! Went early for the Crown Jewelry and was in very quickly, later in the day the queue was huge all the way down past the white tower so would recommend going early! Plenty to do there and to see. Lots of little shops to buy souvenirs too.

  • 5/5 lilykartofel 1 year ago on Google
    This might be one of my favourite 'tourist' places I have visited in London. The history of this place is amazing, and all the different parts of this mini city within the city are stunning to walk around. I would greatly recommend spending a full morning or afternoon there (also as to make the cost of tickets more worth it).

  • 5/5 Jordan U. 1 year ago on Google
    Very enjoyable day out, especially if you are into history of the kings, queens, architecture,weapons and armour of old. I would recommend going straight to see the crown jewel in morning like I did otherwise you will hit enormous queues in the afternoon as shown in the pictures. Even came across the castles trained crows while walking across the walls. Did not do the summer bloom but if you are into gardens and flowers it looked like a pretty walk through from up above.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome and amazing world heritage site. So many interesting stories to hear, things to see including about the animals that lived there, the stages of it's use, and if course the Royal crown jewels. A must see for tourists and locals..

  • 5/5 SaB62 1 year ago on Google
    The Tower of London is well worth a visit, the Crown Jewels are a sight to see along with the the other museums, life size horses and armour. It’s a lovely walk around the towers, there’s quite a few steps in some places, it’s a very educational place, the palace ravens are kept there too and the guards are on duty.

  • 5/5 B H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had an absolutely fantastic experience. I originally did not care to go because I assumed it would be somewhat boring and too touristy. It was definitely touristy, but not at all boring. There was a lot to see, many very well put together exhibits. Interacting with the Yeomen was a highlight that I never expected. It was well worth the ticket price. The line to get in was of a moderate length and moved along fast enough. The line for the crown jewels was very long. I didn't pay the extra to see them and after seeing the line I'm glad that I didn't. The Superbloom was also fantastic. If it is available during your trip, I highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Janel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great history lesson, lots of walking, tight spots so child strollers will struggle on most of the castle. Crown jewels are breathtaking, no pictures allowed. They could benefit from offering children's crowns for sale at the end.

  • 5/5 K. P. 11 months ago on Google
    This was a fascinating attraction to visit, where me and others were given a tour of many of the tower's areas with historical information from the guard Shady! The buildings have been kept up to scratch and some can be explored, including the fascinating church and White Tower. There is also a museum open, guards stood by one of the towers and walls to walk along!

  • 5/5 Stephanie E. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful and full of so much history! A great place for families and tour groups. Many placards giving the history and explaining historic events throughout the towers. My favorite thing was the crowned jewels. They were beautiful - full of pomp and circumstance!

  • 5/5 D S. 9 months ago on Google
    Over 1000 years of history. A must visit. It's one of the top world culture heritage sites to explore. The tower has an impressive size and appears smaller from outside that it actually is. It takes min 2.5- 3 hours to visi, with deep dive into details even more. The Yeoman warder tours (45min) are included and an absolute must. Best to do some research before to understand the relevance and eras of this location. It's been developed over centuries and has a lot of dramatic and bloody stories. The main tower castle in the center requires a lot of stair climbing. Spectacular views from ancient construction to modern London skyline. A must visit are also the crown jewels. The only place that surprised was the St. Peter chapel that is small and modest for the relevant burial ground it is. The tower is not a cheap attraction to visit but definitely worth it. It can also be reached by boat very conveniently from many locations along the river. 10/10

  • 5/5 Josh 9 months ago on Google
    Went as early as we could and basically walked in. Spent about 5 hours seeing the sites. Did get audio tour. Would recommend it. It was very intuitive, unlike other attraction you don't look for numbers to punch in. They are segmented clips, along planned routes. You hit play when the location/exhibit matches the screen.

  • 5/5 Tim C. 9 months ago on Google
    Let's just say I was there yesterday and took 218 photos. It would have been more but they obviously for smart reasons don't allow photos on the Crown Jewels portion. Definitely worth the cost of admission, and this was my second trip to the Tower (first being on 2000).

  • 5/5 Stephan H. 9 months ago on Google
    Rightfully one of the main attractions of London. Also one of the spots where I would actually recommend an audio guide. It might make the wait time in the queue for the crown jewels more entertaining. The white tower alone would be worth the visit. An amazing experience!

  • 4/5 Alex B. 8 months ago on Google
    Great experience but be prepared for a huge crowd of tourists and school trips. Also, if you want to see the Royal Jewels, be sure to get there as soon as it opens. Otherwise, you will be waiting at least an hour to even get in. There is plenty to see. There is a lot to see in the White Tower. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs, both up and down in the White Tower. This place is rich in history and there is a lot to take in. The cafe is very nice with good food. Overall my family and I had a great experience except for the amount of people.

  • 5/5 Phil X. 8 months ago on Google
    A once in a lifetime experience. To walk through the Tower of London is truly a majestic experience, even though you are joined by thousands of people. However the rooms and towers are beautifully preserved and maintained. The collection of various historical items is incredible and very well presented. The couple of hours I spent there were highly educational. One downside was the queue to see the Crown Jewels. I couldn’t be bothered to wait in the sun for what felt like it’s going to take hours. But I had the chance to see everything else, which was a very impressive and educational experience. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Lesley S. 8 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed walking around it. Lots of history to take in. It's a pity that you had to pay extra to see somethings as well as paying to get in the tower such as the Crown Jewels. Not everyone has that much money to be able to pay the extra. The Crown Jewels is probably the main reason people wish to go in and having to pay extra I feel is a bit much. So its something to think about before you book to go.

  • 4/5 Donna B. 8 months ago on Google
    Took my partner here as I don’t believe they been before and they loved it despite the sheer amount of people visiting. It’s best not to come in the summer time when crowds are big and queues are long. Still amazing and the atmosphere is buzzing, there is plenty to see and you could spend a day inside soaking up the history. Vending carts still use card payments as the main method of payment and thus remember this if you only carry cash.

  • 5/5 Roger G. 8 months ago on Google
    Not cheap, but worth every penny. So much to see, you could easily spend 3 or more hours here. Crown Jewels are outstanding. The Tower is also on the embankment so great for a relaxing walk and great views of Tower Bridge, the Shard, and the Thames.

  • 5/5 Andy P. 8 months ago on Google
    Major History lesson for all ages! A must see. Buy your tickets ahead of time and be sure to join one of the Yeoman Warder tours for witty historical insights. Plan on spending 3-4 hours to see all the sights. Bring snacks or buy some on site.

    Had the most amazing experience, waited for the tour that sets off every half hour, Beefeater 402, Yeoman Warder Abbott was our guide, he's a jewel in himself, very informative and great with the crowd.

    If you like history of any sort you have to make this a priority in London. All buildings and displays are amazing and it's awe inspiring to be surrounded by centuries of history.

    Today we’ve had an absolutely amazing day. Firstly they gave me an accessible map which told you everything you needed to know as a disabled person, even down to how many steps there is! We really enjoyed everything today, there staff were all great and very helpful. I’d definitely recommend getting the Historic Royal palace annual pass as then you can visit all the historic palaces for £55. We spent 4.5 hours there and just loved it.

  • 4/5 AE G. 4 months ago on Google
    A must-see while in London. Purchase your tickets online in advance. Otherwise, stand in line to purchase and then queue again to enter. The Crown Jewels are magnificent and will be a 3rd queue to stand in. The rest of the site is a self paced tour. There are some really narrow and steep spiral staircases to climb if you wish to see the cell/jail where the traitors and the 2 princes were kept. The stairway up to the two princes is very narrow with a low ceiling, and you can not see to the top. If you are claustrophobic or prone to panic, then you should avoid this climb because you will have to crawl climb the stairs and you cannot go back down once you start since it is one way and people will be climbing behind you. The ravens are great to see, so don't miss them. There is a changing of the guard every 30 minutes at the crown jewel exhibit. There is no parking, so Uber, taxi, or we used Golden Tours hop on/off bus to get to all the major sites. Great place to take the kids. It's a little more challenging if you have limited mobility or handicap. Easy walk from here to the Tower Bridge, and a 15 min walk to Borough Market.

  • 5/5 Ian M. 4 months ago on Google
    Always lovely to visit the Tower of London, steeped in history and full of facts and stories. The guards and guides are so friendly and knowledgeable. We saw that the Crown & Coronation Exhibition was on so looked for tickets and managed to get some on the last day which was amazing. The light and sound show was fabulous and to get into the crown jewels was the icing on the cake. It was a really chilly November evening but people were chatty and cheering throughout, it's so lovely to see everyone of all ages, so friendly and nice

    A beautiful day out, I do not advise for people with mobility issues because of the narrow passages and the steep stairs.... But is a beautiful journey in English history... Crude at times. The crown jewel are just one of a kind.... And more accessible.. If you have a day off and don't know what to do, the ticket is worth the money.

    Absolutely amazing! Loved every second of being there. So many things you can see and a huge amount of history in one place. The yeoman warders are so friendly and have such amazing knowledge of the tower.
