This place has so much history, it would be impossible for the “Beefeater” guides to mention it all. Almost every major event in Britain’s royal history has a connection to the Tower. Personally I wasn’t that impressed with the crown jewels, but the oldest bits of the tower made up for that. One observation though – on the tour, you’re constantly told that the Tower belongs to the British people – and yet they still charge you to get in! This is an extract from our free London City Guide.
