The big problem with the Tower of London is that it is an iconic London attraction. The cost is totally ludicrous. Sadly, this is one of a handful of such iconic sights - ones that all tourists must see, but which charge a huge entrance fee. The other sights in this category are Westminster Abbey, St Pauls Cathedral, Hampton Court... More

In bullet points: Pros: a) Loads of history b) Crown jewels are breathtaking c) Yomen Cons: a) Long queue to view crown jewels b) If you are from a common wealth state, you may be saddened to see some treasures from your own country being on display inside the tower c) No ghost sightings!

There is a lot of history in the Tower of London. If you are not really into history you can skip this place. The visit is at least a couple of hours long. There are several sections here, the area where they used to torture and imprison, the area where they have the crown jewels, you can wait for the... More

The highlight of this place, to my surprise, since I was pretty much only interested in the Crown Jewels, is actually the tour given by the Yeoman Warders. It is unlike the average docent tour of a castle/museum and fun even for those that are not kids or history buffs. As for the jewels, they are pretty neat too, and... More

The tower of London is such an interesting place to visit, but give it at least three hours of your time as there's so much to see. The architecture of the buildings and the display of the Crown Jewels were the highlights of this attraction. There are also dozens of great photo opportunities not to be missed. Several hours here... More

A lot of walking up and down narrow, spiral stairways if you enter the towers but it is definitely worth a visit! The yeoman tour and white tower tour were extremely well done, informative and interesting! The build up to the crown jewels could have been better, you walk through darkish rooms with the history of the crown jewels along... More

This attraction has a lot information to give about British history. Unfortunately, it is one of the bloody sides of British History. So for parents planning to bring your children, I would start out saying that you should not be discouraged by this. I first came to the tower when I was 11 and my youngest brother was 7. I... More

Highly recommend a free tour with a guide (that is available just inside the entrance to the tower) as it provides signifigant insight that would be impossible to get by yourself. One could easily spend 4 + hours at the tower as there is so much history and information that is very well presented. It would help to do a... More

From the outside it looks impresive and it's overwhealming the beuty and perfection of Tower of London. Inside you feel like if you where part of the cast of a medieval film. The vives inside are so strong that having goosebumps is inevitable specialy when you get in to "The Blody Tower", take a picture and inside of it and... More
