What to expect
The Tower of London is a historic citadel and castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It was founded toward the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest and has played a prominent role in English history. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. Visitors can explore the castle, see the Crown Jewels, meet the legendary Yeoman Warders and ravens, and discover the Tower's rich history. The Tower is also home to several interactive exhibits, including the Armoury in Action, where visitors can shoot arrows, assemble firearms, and brandish a sword
