Probably 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

Sir 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

Go on a sunny day, follow a Beefeater tour. Funny, interesting and special information.
Maurício CairesJune 21, 2012
Spend a time visiting the Tower of London. The place is surrounded by cafés, souvenir stores and, of course, tourists.

I'd suggest going out of order and visiting the crown jewels early before the queue gets quite long.. But it does move fast.

Great place to see... make sure you're wearing something warm, it a bit chilly inside anytime you go there

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.

Having even worked there as a contractor, you start unavoidably breathing history from the moment you step through its gates.

Despite expensive ticket price it is a good idea to take a look inside of this medieval fortress
Anthony ScottJuly 19, 2011
Some 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?

The Crown Jewels are amazing!!! Can't believe those jewels are real !!
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.

There's a legend that says that "If the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."
