If you are a history buff, such as myself, you'll love the tower of London. I would recommend taking one of the tours (included in the price of the ticket) by the famous Beefeaters. They start at the entrance to the Tower. I posted pictures and some more details on my travel blog: http://adams-travel-blog.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-couple-days-in-london.html It is a lot of fun,... more

When in London, you must not miss this incredible site! Full of history, original architecture, and the Crown Jewels, a visit here can sum up what London once was. Said by some to be one of the most haunted locations in England, visitors can quickly see why ghosts might choose to haunt this venue. You must do the tour with... more

After a two-week trip through Ireland and London, we decided this was our favorite place to visit. Seeing the crown jewels and taking the Beefeater tour provide you with a sense of what the monarchy means to Britain (somewhat foreign coming form the US). We learned so much and were highly entertained the whole time. Plan to spend a couple... more

If you get the chance go & visit the Tower of London. Make sure you allow at least 2-3 hours for your visit. Pick up a map or a free tour with one of the attractions Beefeaters. Well worth a visit. more

Tons of fun. Great for kids. Lots of history, and the free guided tours are wonderful. The tours are given by the Beefeaters who live in the tower. This is one of my favorite places to visit. more

This place is a favorite of the locals and tourists alike. I enjoy visiting on the weekdays, when the crowds are fewer. Take the tours but give yourself at least an hour to imagine things by yourself on these fabulous grounds. more

Worth getting there early no later than 10am as the lineups accumulate all day. Suggest buying tickets online in advance for better prices and no lineups getting them at the pre-order kiosk. Lineups for same day purchases were 3 lines of 30-40 deep. WE spent 6 hours there enjoying all we read. Need at least 3 hours if u appreciate... more

A must see when visiting London. Get to know the Towers history through of one the guided Tours so you get a better picture of how things were. Although a great place to see, it can get very busy... buy your tickets on line before hand to save time lining up. more
