Description
Tower of London
The Tower of London has been a central part of London life since the 11th century. It’s had many uses throughout its history including being the home of ‘royal beasts’, the Royal Mint and a prison. It earned a chilling reputation for being a formidable Castle that Londoners would have trembled at the sight of.
During your visit, you’ll uncover plenty of British history. Meet the Yeoman Warders who once kept prisoners inside the Tower safe. Discover the majestic Crown Jewels and see which diamond-encrusted masterpieces were worn by which Queen or King. Explore the interactive Royal Beasts Exhibition which gives visitors a fascinating insight into what was once the home of lions, baboons and even a polar bear inside the Tower.
Tower Bridge
A fascinating history spanning over 135 years, Tower Bridge is one of London’s most iconic landmarks. Discover interesting stories and more as you wander through the Walkways and engage with the interactive displays and exhibitions. With the Glass Floors, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of London’s famous locations and landmarks including Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece St Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf, the historic Greenwich, Tower of London, the City, The Shard and much more.
Once you’ve taken in the sights, travel back in time to the Victorian age as you venture into the atmospheric Engine Rooms to uncover the machinery and people that worked here.
