After reading many books about English history, and watching so many movies and TV series about medieval England, this is a place one must go. I spent a whole day there and took hundreds of photos. I felt like travelling through time, back to the 1500s and 1600s. Don't miss the guided tours! more

The Tower of London is a must see attraction. Visit in the morning when it first opens (10.30). See the Crown Jewels first when there is no crowd. Definitely do the Yeoman Warden guided tour. They are very informative and entertaining. Allow 3 hours for the visit. The Tower is a very short walk from the Tower Hill Tube Station. more

The Tower of London is not to be missed. So much history! The guides do a wonderful job of explaining the importance of the Tower, and tell unforgetable stories about all of the people who lived and died there. You are given a tour of the Tower, and then are given a chance to walk around on your own. Imagine... more

Even though I was on business in London, I managed to see a few things. This is one you should not miss. Its full of history and you can spend as much time as you wish to. The best time to visit is in the morning, and you can start here if you are touring the city the entire day. more

We spent nearly four hours here and could have spent more. We really enjoyed the Yeoman Warders tour. The tour was free and the guide was very engaging. Time flew by! The crown jewel exhibit was also fun. Make sure to leave plenty of time to explore – at least 3 hours. more

You can spend hours here either just admiring the the site, going into the various exhibitions or visiting the crown jewels. This is English history at its best, the most poignient part being the graffiti scratched on the walls of various rooms where people were incarcerated. There is something for all ages and although it may seem expensive, once you... more

If you are going to be in London for any amount of time you have to go to the Tower of London. There is so much history in those walls that have influenced the history of our world. Plan on spending several hours at the Tower and head straight for the Crown Jewels when you get there because it can... more

I love history and for me it's the best attraction in London! You can easily spend a couple of hours here delving into the history and seeing the crown jewels. Worth the money. more

During a recent trip to London, I visited many attractions, and the Tower was by far the best and most worthwhile excursion. At a cost of 17 pounds for an adult admission, the Tower is well worth it: the site is well documented, so visitors less-knowledgeable of history will be able to appreciate the site. Additionally, there are many hands... more
