As one of London’s most famous sights, this imposing fortress sits proudly on the banks of the Thames in the historic heart of the city.

This striking UNESCO World Heritage Site was built under the instruction of William the Conqueror in the 1070s to demonstrate the power of the Normans following a successful battle on English shores. 

Since its time as an imposing fortress,  the Tower of London has served as a palace, an armory, a prison, and even a zoo! These days, however, it's the brilliant Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters as they are known, that people come to see, as they give fascinating tours of the grounds all the while safeguarding the sensational British Crown Jewels.

Did you know?

Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII's many wives, was sentenced to death right here. Arrested for adultery and plotting against the King's life, Anne was taken by barge through the famous Traitor's Gate. Despite protesting her innocence, her head was parted from her body in quite the gruesome fashion that was very in vogue in the 1500s. Anne Boleyn, along with many other high-profile individuals like Lady Jane Grey, met a grisly fate right here, and it's said that some still haunt the execution grounds to this day...

Tower of London Highlights

Crown Jewels - a stunning 142-item collection of ceremonial jewel-encrusted objects that serve among the royal regalia during the coronation of British Monarchs. The collection includes swords, orbs, scepters, rings, amulets, and of course the almighty St. Edward’s Crown.

Yeoman Warders - officially the Yeomen Warders of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary - but since that is quite a mouthful, they are known more commonly as the Beefeaters. These retired servicemen now protect the Crown Jewels and lead tours of the Tower of London. Yeoman Warder tours are included with your pass and depart every 30 minutes. Tours last approximately 60 minutes and start near the main entrance.

The Ravens - these six ‘guardians of the Tower’ are looked after by a designated Ravenmaster and are kept here as legend has it that ‘the kingdom will fall if the ravens ever leave the Tower…’
