Memorable day to the nation's Capital and this iconic destination on the River Thames in the City of London. Explore the 1000-year history of this World Heritage Site, home of the world-renowned Crown Jewels, Beefeaters, Ravens, Royal Armouries collection and so much more!
In 1070, William the Conqueror built the White Tower to subdue and terrify Londoners, and to deter foreign invaders. It is an iconic symbol of London and Britain.
The Yeoman Wardens, popularly known as ‘Beefeaters’, will take you on a tour of the Tower, where you’ll hear stories about ghosts as well as the terrible tales of torture and execution, including famous occupants such as Anne Boleyn. You’ll also learn about the wide array of institutions previously located here including the Royal Mint, the Royal Armouries and even a zoo.
The Tower of London also hosts the Ceremony of the Keys, considered to be one of the oldest military ceremonies in the world, and other traditional live events.
PLUS - This year, see a new special commemorative display of ceramic poppies installed at the heart of the Tower of London to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
The display will see nearly 30,000 of the original poppies, made for the 2014 installation, ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, return to the Tower, marking the sacrifices made by so many during the Second World War.
