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

A Must!

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

We stopped here as our first sight in London and I really enjoyed it. The size was amazing to be in the middle of a large, modern city and to be able to see the different layers of restoration and repair that it has undergone in the hundreds of years of it's existence. The crown jewels were beautiful along with... more

We went to Tower of London on Oct 27. We got there at around 10.30. There was a long line to buy ticket, which moved very slow. We were able to use 2 for 1 voucher. Tower of London is a must see site. It is very amazing. The highlights were Jewel Crown and the Exhibit of Henry VIII dressed... more

My friends and I got to visit the Tower of London in March and we all had a wonderful time. The Beefeater who gave us the tour was extremely funny. When we went into the Chapel and he told us that Anne Boleyn was buried there, it was unreal. The Crown Jewels were amazing and to see the graffiti on... more

This place is amazing. It is a true historic site worthy of a visit from everyone. I've been there twice, but I think once would have been adequate. It is worth a visit and is truly spectacular, but it doesn't change, so once would have been fine, too. more

This is the best cultural/sightseeing tour i have ever had the pleasure to go on. An overwhelming example of British History from the legend of Henry the VIIIth to Queen Elizabeth. I would happily visit the tower of London time and t time again and not get bored, the knowledge of the Beefeaters was outstanding and the humour .... forgivable... more
