The history of London comes to life at this complex of 20 towers surrounding Tower Green. The oldest tower, known as the White Tower, was completed in 1097, when it was the tallest building in London. The Tower buildings have had many uses over the years; perhaps the most infamous was as a jail for political prisoners, not to mention two of Henry VIII’s wives. The most famous exhibits at the Tower are the British Crown Jewels. Aside from a short interruption during WWII, these splendid baubles have been locked behind the Tower’s walls for centuries.

The Tower of London is Amazing. It's so full of history- every stone you step on is historic!! The Crown Jewels are fabulous as well. I would definitely recommend going in the spring or summer though because in winter, especially if it snows, it is So easy to slip on those Tiny steps! Also, do the guided tour! It is Full of fascinating facts and stories! Plus the tour guide wears the funniest outfit!

My fav of all the tours/museums/castles/palaces, probably b/c of the Beefeaters. They are awesome and give a great tour. And crown jewels are here too

Execution inside the Tower walls was a privilege for those of high rank. Tower Green contains the modern memorial to the people who died here. Circle the memorial by foot and you'll find poignant reminders of people such as Anne Boleyn (Henry VIII's second wife), Catherine Howard (Henry VIII's fifth wife) and Lady Jane Grey who was only 16 at the time she was executed.

Centrally located so it’s easy to add into a London day trip. There is so much to see, including the Crown Jewels and nurerous events all year round, I recommend making a list of things you want to see there before you go.
