About the Tower of London
Royal fortress founded by William the Conqueror in the 1070s—the White Tower anchors a complex that evolved as palace, prison, mint, armoury, and treasury.
Admission includes the Crown Jewels in the Jewel House, access to the medieval wall walk and towers, and the White Tower’s displays.
Yeoman Warder tours add lively storytelling—self‑paced panels and a digital guide give flexible exploration.
Wear comfortable shoes for stairs and cobbles; bring a light layer for riverside breezes.
Arrive early for the shortest Jewel House queue; late afternoon can feel gentler on busy days.
