Brendan DalyDecember 30, 2018Make sure you do a Yeoman Warder Tour. Leaves from the entrance and always a laugh and great stories.
Janet CheungSeptember 2, 2014Go here even if pricy and wait for a beefeater tour and get to know the place then roam around after on ur own
BritannicaAugust 3, 2011Tower of London, a royal fortress and London landmark. It has served historically as a royal palace, a political prison, a place of execution, an arsenal, a royal mint, and a public records office
MeliSeptember 18, 2013Must visit Bloody Tower to learn about the mysterious disappearance of the two young princes. Amazing tour of the really old castle.
Chad RainsNovember 27, 2011Best historical attraction in London. Never get tired of visiting this wonderful place. Definitely tag along for one of the guided tours.
chairul yunazAugust 11, 2011The 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
Mariana InbarAugust 28, 2011Take 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.
Richard GregoryAugust 18, 2010Did you know that Royal Navy ships that enter the Port of London must still provide the Constable of the Tower of London with a barrel of rum? I wish I was him, I bet he'd be drunk most of his life. Read more
F LDecember 28, 2013For fellow Catholics, ask one of the guards if they will let you pray before the Tomb of Thomas More!
Alerrandro CorreaNovember 14, 2017You may buy ticket from Big Bus guys and save some money. You don't have to buy the bus ticket for that.
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.
Charlie ElliottApril 2, 2013Join in one of the free yeoman tours at the beginning. It's only about 20mins long, is a good laugh and points out everywhere you should go.
Louis VuittonJune 17, 2010The 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
Now that I am mayor I henceforth decree that the ravens shall be set free, and hanging be legal again, and many other laws that I shall whimsically fabricate as I see fit!
Pelin DuraMay 2, 2016definitly take the toure!!! If you want to see everything you have to spent like 5/6 hours
Joshua StainesNovember 11, 2010If 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
Live in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets? Sign up for an Idea Store card for £1 entry! Great for a quick trip to the Tower.
Ewa SJuly 15, 2015Great tours, lots of history. One thing though: the wardens don't have their own museum which is a shame
The TelegraphJuly 13, 2012It's a beautiful, momentous building but the Tower of London holds a troubling history. A tour through its grounds hold tales of execution, imprisonment and torture.
My fav place in London, but if queues are long use your mobile to book tickets and then just pick them up at the group pickup point (a lot quicker!)
Ali HApril 24, 2011try and get there around 8:45am. they unlock the gates at 9. the lines are short so go straight to the crown jewels & then the white tower. then you can take it slow otherwise lines can be 1.5h long.
The 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' installation at Tower of London until 11 Nov 2014
Royal ArmouriesJanuary 11, 2011The 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.
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!
STA Travel U.S.June 20, 2011TRAVEL FACT: This historic castle is open daily with tickets that will get you access to the tower with guided tours and live historical re-enactments and exhibitions.
Bee WilliamsMarch 21, 2016This place was cool! Definitely check out the Crown Jewels! That was the most interesting to me
SquirrlyJuly 26, 2012if you like history you really have to visit The Tower Of London! You will meet a lot of history, costumes, people.

Yarn LamApril 5, 2015Popped by the Crown Jewels early and by the time I came out, the queue was twice as long and snaking around the courtyard.
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
Roman BedinerOctober 31, 2015Guided tours are entertaining, don't miss excellent scones in the Caffè.
Nuno CoelhoJune 30, 2012For every turist visiting London, the best and fastest way to visit the Tower of London (hence avoiding its endless queues) is to acquire The London Pass
DavidAugust 28, 2014Building's architecture is wonderful. A little castle in the middle of the big city.
Marco OrtizAugust 22, 2015One of the best historic places in London. The crown treasures are a must see.
Tágore AcOctober 19, 2016Had a great time listening to yeoman warder Clive, what a funny guy. Nice place to visit at all.
Matt LApril 11, 2014Much better than I expected. Crown Jewels are way cool. Try to avoid the busy times as the wait can be horrendous
Saffron BeatsonJuly 6, 2015A great historic place to visit, loved all the gory details on the audio guide

Johannes DriessenNovember 17, 2014You can see so much of this place just by wandering around it. Quite pricey if you actually want the full tour- Royal ArmouriesFebruary 17, 2011If 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.
