Worth it even only if for the crown jewels. Biggest diamonds you'll ever see.
Yasiru AbeygunawardanaNovember 11, 2015
Take the guided tour. Well organized and fun
Maria AshtonJuly 18, 2014
Amazing 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.
Nerijus MalinauskasMarch 14, 2015
After visiting, cross the Tower bridge and take river walk towards London bridge

When visiting the Tower of London you must try the burger and make sure to ask for the secret sauce! You will not be disappointed.

Get here early and check out the Crown Jewels first so you can avoid the big crowds.

I visited the Tower yrs ago. I recommend you, the Krew Garden, esp, in this season.

Today, 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.
Kurt HaaOctober 22, 2016
Nice place to relax and enjoy the river view
TheForsakenApril 17, 2011
Been here 100+ times
+ ; It was built on the Thames by William the Conqueror to protect London and assert his power. The Tower of London – an imposing fortress with many layers of history.

Don't feed the ravens. They get fed good meat and bloody bread each day.
Saeed AlhajriNovember 17, 2014
one of the best places in London
Morgans Hotel Group ManagerMarch 28, 2012
Once a prison to only the most esteemed villians - among them, royals, high-society traitors, and the Kray Brothers, the Tower's last prisoner is long gone. Read more

You need a whole day for this one if you want to see it all.
Badger BadgerDecember 30, 2017
They let too many people in. Rinsing those tourist dollars. If you’re here to see the Crown Jewels, expect to wait 2, 3 hours in a queue
Richard NashDecember 2, 2011
Pop into the internet shop behind the ticket office to print your 2-4-1 voucher from National Rail website. Print costs £1.20 (nov'11).

Americans, bring cash to the restaurant. Restaurant doesn't accept credit or debit cards, and the ATM nearby requires a chipped ATM card.
