Toria LJanuary 18, 2012Bring comfortable walking shoes that won't get caught on cobblestone. Lots to see, definitely an all-day must-see attraction!

Tomoya KuramochiMay 27, 2012I visited the Tower yrs ago. I recommend you, the Krew Garden, esp, in this season.
Maria AshtonJuly 18, 2014Amazing 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.

Rashid KhanJuly 6, 2013The view from outside is quite something, didn't get a chance to go inside but the building it very striking.
Badger BadgerDecember 30, 2017They 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
