Overview
As one of London’s most famous sights, this imposing fortress sits proudly on the banks of the Thames in the historic heart of the city.
This striking UNESCO World Heritage Site was built under the instruction of William the Conqueror in the 1070s to demonstrate the power of the Normans following a successful battle on English shores.
Since its time as an imposing fortress, the Tower of London has served as a palace, an armory, a prison, and even a zoo! These days, however, it’s the brilliant Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters as they are known, that people come to see, as they give fascinating tours of the grounds all the while safeguarding the sensational British Crown Jewels.
