- ATM_LiverpoolLiverpool, UK460 contributionsVisited here expecting to experience a few things about Diana or the modern royals who inhabit this palace. Lovely grounds and nicely set in Hyde park but aside from the memorial garden when touring there is no reference to Diana or any modern royals. The whole tour is about historic royals and a man interesting section on Queen Victoria. Not the most interesting palace .Written August 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael MIpswich, UK712 contributionsIt's worth having a look at this over looked Royal Palace if you're heading up The Mall to Buckingham Palace. You will find it half way up The Mall on the right hand side. It's quite interesting and less busy than Buckingham Palace. A good place to see the Military in full uniform.Written September 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

* Amazing historical building constructed in the year 1068
* The architectural centerpiece and main symbol of the entire Tower of London
* Incredible and stunning museum displays of historical British royalty stuff and tools and implements of medieval warfare
CONS
So much stuff is displayed in there that it can get crowded
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because it is the central building of the Tower of London complex.
I was thrilled with being inside such an outstanding and incredibly intact structure that was built almost one thousand years ago.
The exhibits were wonderful and stunning and mesmerizing. I loved all of it on all of the floors.
I loved going down the winding four flights of stairs, and I have many videos of it
Of course I had booked this Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Sky Garden and a play at the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre all in one day, so I was moving fast and didn't have time to savor and enjoy the absolute treasures that are displayed here.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Going to the Tower of London once for almost 30GBP was worth it- once
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
For that cost? Maybe yes/maybe no/maybe so
ADVICE
* Be sure to budget a good amount of time to peruse all that is displayed here
* Be sure to go to the top and then all the way down on one of the spiral staircases
