Tower Of London

Unclaimed

I was worried about taking my 5 and 7 year old but they found it surprisingly entertaining. Super lovely Yeoman wardens and all round great time. The queues look look long but I promise they go very fast. Highly recommend if you love a bit of history.

A Majestic Walk Through British Royal History! The Tower of London is one of the most iconic and historically rich landmarks in the UK — a must-visit for anyone traveling to London. From tales of royal betrayals and legendary prisoners to ancient fortifications and priceless treasures, every corner of the Tower echoes with history. The highlight for many (including me) is the Crown Jewels exhibit — and it truly lives up to the hype! Seeing the Kohinoor diamond and pieces from the Cullinan diamond up close is both mesmerizing and surreal. The sheer size, brilliance, and craftsmanship of these jewels are jaw-dropping. These gems are not just royal treasures but powerful symbols of history, empire, and controversy, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the experience. The Yeoman Warder tours (led by the famous Beefeaters) are equally captivating — a perfect mix of history, humor, and a few spine-chilling tales from the Tower’s darker days. Be sure to explore the Bloody Tower, the Traitor’s Gate, and meet the legendary ravens! The Tower is very well maintained, well signposted, and family-friendly. Arrive early to beat the queues and take your time soaking in the grandeur and gravity of it all. A perfect blend of storytelling, symbolism, and stunning sights — an unforgettable experience that brings British history to life. Highly recommended for tourists, locals, and anyone with even a spark of curiosity!

Amazing place to visit. Every corner is full of history. I had the pleasure of being there around 2:30, just right in time to listen to the speech of the Yeoman Warden Ravenmaster- it was very interesting and informative. I would say you need more than 2 hours to explore everything peacefully because you have to see a lot! I definitely recommend visiting this historical gem!!!

This attraction has improved immensely since we visited 20 years ago. Much more on display with great information. Many of the rooms have been restored to look as they would have done all those years ago. Pick your days as this is a busy destination and much more enjoyable if you're not struggling to see the exhibits .

Best destination in London. Nothing shows the timeless history and the opulence of the royal family like the Tower and the crown jewels. Get tickets in advance purchase, skip the mid-day crowds and get out early. If you're interested in a true experience that few get to enjoy, book a ceremony of the keys ticket to see one of the oldest traditions in the world. Tickets only open up on the final day of the month for the following month. They sell out fast so plan ahead.
