    No photography allowed inside. Make sure to look closely at the ceilings, the walls and the tapestries. Millions of dollars (pounds) are right there.

    Big castle complex right smack in the city, see the traitor's gate, the ravens, the torture chambers & dungeons, & the crown jewels, get a little history under your belt.

    25 pounds? The most expensive site in London. Visit only if you have not visit before.

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