Tower of London
Dating back to the 11th century, the Tower of London is one of the city’s most famous landmarks.
Owned by King Charles III, it once functioned as a royal fortress and a prison. It is now the home of the Crown Jewels, a collection of ceremonial objects with over 23,000 gemstones belonging to the Royal Family.
You can get up close and personal to the treasured jewels, enjoy a guided tour with a Yeoman Warder, and meet the ravens, AKA the guardians of the tower. Located on the north side of the River Thames across from Tower Bridge, this is one of the easiest ways to immerse in London’s history.
