The Tower of London
Tower of London was founded by William the Conqueror and over a thousand years of history of England took place around or behind its walls. In the Tower of London has been executed Anne Boleyn, Guy Fawkes was interrogated and Richard II and Elizabeth I ware imprisoned. Guarding the Thames, the Tower of London is an impressive tourist attraction.
In your visit at the Tower of London you will discover hidden secrets that dwell within its walls, you’ll marvel at the splendor of the crown jewels, you look at where the three queens were beheaded and you will explore the myths and legends that make a visit to the Tower of London a milestone in your London vacation.
The Tower of London hosts many collections like the Royal Collection of armors worn by Henry VIII and Charles I, but also of an impressive collection of weapons. marvel at the beauty of the Imperial Crown that is worn at the opening of the Parliament session and you can admire the largest and most beautiful diamond in the world on the scepter of Her Majesty the Queen, named Cullinan I.
I recommend that you book about 2-3 hours to visit the Tower of London.
