Feel the history...wow, I just couldn't imagine the royalty that walked there before me...And to see the Royal Crown Jewels...wow...A must see, yes, a must see... And take the guided tour and hear the history.
I've been to London twice (about to go on my 3rd trip this spring), and I have always gone (and will go once again), to the Tower of London. The castle is absolutely AMAZING! There is soooo much to see. They have all kinds of tours, the beefeaters give great lectures, they have people acting out shows, and the BEST part is the Crown Jewels. ...

great to explore
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/21/09
My wife and I went to london for our honeymoon and we stayed at a hotel right next to the tower of london,we spent a whole day just exploring the tower of london, great place.
I had never been to London, and I visited the Tower of London last week (March 2009). There were many towers to walk through, and each tower contained many objects to view. When my boyfriend and I got hungry, we took a break and went to eat at the cafe inside the complex. I really enjoyed my food, and there were a lot of hot and cold choices, as ...

This was wonderful, the plays were delightful and so informative and captured childrens attention. When they normally would by pulling on you to leave, they are begging to stay, who would have ever thought??? learning made fun.

IF PLANNING ON GOING FROM CANADA PLEASE READ!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/29/09
Amazing place.. HOWEVER........... I bought a pewter flask from there and I lost it. I was just wondering if anyone else bought a flask from the Tower of London or anyone planning on going there from Canada/USA that would buy one and ship to me if I sent a paypal for the cost of the flask and a bit extra. It would be MUCH appreciated. Please let me ...
I know this is a big tourist stop, but for good reason: it's quite a sight. I spent 4 hours wandering around the Tower with an audio guide, and it was some of the most magical time I spent in London. Highly recommended, and again- if you're not already on a guided tour- go for the audio guide.
The Tower of London is a must for any first-time visitor to London or England. The Tower of London is really Castle located in the City of London. The place is historical and you may take advantage of the complimentary tour by the Yeoman Warder and spend the rest of the day exploring the other sights on the grounds.
To appeciate the British crown and history, this is a must. The free Beefeater tours are great, plus the crown jewels and lots of medeival weapons and artifacts. My favorite spot in London.

A full day out that won't disapoint
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/05/08
Although the entrance price does appear to be expensive, this place will take a whole day so is actually very good values compared to some other attractions in London. The Yeoman tour is great fun and really enjoyable. There is often long queues for the Crown Jewels and as there is not a proper queuing system for some displays you often find some ...
