Description

Dive into over 1,000 years of British history with a visit to the Tower of London, one of the capital's most iconic monuments!

Situated on the banks of the River Thames, the Tower of London was erected in 1066 by William the Conqueror. Medieval fortress, royal residence, dreaded prison and execution site, it alone embodies the many faces of English history.

With your ticket, you'll enter the monument's grounds and freely explore the main buildings and permanent exhibits. In particular, you'll discover the famous White Tower, the oldest building on the site, the Bloody Tower and its dark tales, or the impressive remparts.

You'll gain access to the collection of Crown Jewels, jewels of the British Crown, still used in major state ceremonies. This spectacular exhibition attracts millions of visitors every year.

All day long, you can join a guided tour in English, led by the iconic Yeoman Warders, also known as Beefeaters. These traditionally dressed warders share with humor and precision the stories of plots, betrayals, imprisonments and executions that have marked this mythical place.

Your tour will also be punctuated by unusual encounters, such as the famous Tower Crows, whose presence, according to legend, protects the kingdom of England.

An unmissable visit during your stay in London!
