What to expect

The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic citadel and castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It has played a prominent role in English history, serving as a royal residence, armoury, treasury, menagerie, and home of the Crown Jewels of England. The Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. Visitors can explore the White Tower, meet the famous ravens, and see the Crown Jewels. The Tower also offers family-friendly activities, such as the Armoury in Action, where kids can shoot arrows, assemble firearms, and brandish a sword, and Yeoman Warder tours, which provide an entertaining and educational experience for the whole family
