About
快速信息: Whispers of royal secrets and echoes of historic dramas linger in the shadows of its ancient stones. Notorious for housing the Crown Jewels, it dazzles visitors with gems that gleam brighter than tales of intrigue and imprisonment.
亮点: Legend has it that if the resident ravens ever leave the Tower, the kingdom will fall; to prevent this, at least six ravens with clipped wings live on the grounds at all times, cared for by the Ravenmaster. Visitors can also catch the whimsical Ceremony of the Keys, a tradition that has locked the Tower gates securely every night for over 700 years without fail.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the site is extensive with cobbled paths and stairs.
- Head straight to the Crown Jewels on arrival to avoid the longest queues later in the day.
- Join the Yeoman Warder guided tour, it is included with admission and delivers lively history and good photo stops.
- Photograph Tower Bridge from the waterfront near the White Tower for a classic view and fewer crowds.
