Tower of London Sightseeing in Leicester Square

Tower of London – A Journey Through History

Standing proudly on the north bank of the River Thames, the Tower of London is one of the most famous historic landmarks in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded by William the Conqueror in 1066, this fortress has served many roles over the centuries: a royal palace, a treasury, an armoury, a prison, and even a zoo. Today, it remains one of London’s most visited attractions, drawing millions of visitors every year.

The Tower is best known as the home of the spectacular Crown Jewels, a dazzling collection of royal regalia still used in ceremonies today. Guests can also meet the legendary Yeoman Warders (popularly known as Beefeaters), hear tales of intrigue and treachery, and see the infamous Traitors’ Gate. From the White Tower the oldest part of the fortress to the haunting stories of Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey, every stone of the Tower of London is steeped in history.
