The Tower Of London

I had a great time wandering around the Tower of London (especially the gruesome torture exhibit). It’s just a shame it cost an arm and a leg!

I really enjoyed visiting this place. Often when you visit these sort of places they can be quite boring, but our beefeater was really funny and was really interesting to listen to. There is a lot to do here, i would particularly recommend looking at the crown jewels, but if you have time its worth exploring every building

The Tower of London is of course one of the most interesting place of the city.
And it surely has a lot of history inside.
But, well, I couldn’t see it at all!
Too many people!!
I couldn’t move!!!

I was there in 1996, and it was amazing to just wander around freely, not like those tours, that make you walk as part of the herd. The history, the walls, just an amazing piece of history, that is so accessible. This was a highlight of our trip to England…

The walls are just soaked in history. I never knew that the Tower was also used a royal palace – at school, we knew it primarily as the place where people were sent to be imprisoned and usually executed. Even if you don’t go inside, do go and admire it from the outside!
