There are lots of exciting things to discover in the Tower, you could easily spend a whole day there. The crown jewels are a great highlight, it's best to save them for the end to avoid school classes and the like. The souvenir stores and kiosks are also very good. There are also numerous toilets throughout the site, so you rarely have to queue. The staff are very friendly & courteous/helpful. I would only advise against the audio guide, as the £5 for this quality is hardly worth it. My personal highlight was the ravens.

This place is truly fantastic—beautiful, spacious, and with plenty of climbing for those ready to explore. The architecture and atmosphere are breathtaking. The only downside is the Crown Jewel display: it’s stunning to see in person, but photography is not allowed, which is disappointing for visitors who want to share the experience with family and friends on social media. Even so, the history here is rich and fascinating, and the overall experience is so impressive that I would gladly return again.

STUPID medieval castle experience! So many rooms and towers to visit, it really is a dive into medieval history, with everything very well preserved. The jewelry room is poorly (vilely poorly) lit, lacking basic descriptions (belonged to, used a on occasion of, stolen the etc.) it is a display of jewelry as any jewelry storefront could be. They are clearly beautiful (the newer ones), but they look much better on TV.

    I bought tickets for the Tower of London first thing opening time and it was the best, it was a Friday morning at 9am and it wasn't that crowded. I was able to get into the crown jewels exhibit without waiting in line and look at the jewels for as long as I could! I toured the complex in about two hours taking a bit of a break and taking pictures. I recommend going at the time they open because then school groups of tourists arrive and everything gets crowded, the souvenir stores are great, but if you like history this place is a must see on your list of things to do in London.

    The audio guide is not clear. It is not clear where one should start. One should number the pictures according to the sequential activities. Also, from my tickets it was included and instead I arrived at the stall distributing the audioguides and was told they were not included and I had to pay £14 for them (family-4 person package)

    The Tower of London tour was absolutely terrific. Gary was an outstanding tour guide, weaving humor into his presentation. After the guided portion, we visited several other locations for several hours. It was a fascinating look into the history of this location.
  • Tower of London

    Visit the primary seat and center of the British Monarchy. As the primary residence of royalty and setting for key events in the early history of Europe, a tour to the Tower of London is an experience filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and even a little horror. Once you enter, you are allowed to explore the castle grounds independently for however long you wish until closing time. You will be able to experience and explore all the parts of the castle. This includes the White Tower, the first part of the Castle built by William the Conqueror, which houses displays from the Royal Armouries’ collection today.

    Finally, the tour also includes the opportunity to see the Crown Jewels, a display of the wealth and splendor of the British Crown. Apart from these experiences, you will get to see live historical re-enactments, and other exhibitions like 'Coins & Kings' and 'Line of Kings'.

    The Shard

    With its 310 meters, the Shard is the highest observation bridge in London. The view from here is breathtaking. You can watch the city, the Thames, and the sun setting over the city if you decide to visit at nightfall. Your tickets give you access to levels 68, 69, and 72. Once you enter, you will have to take the elevator to the 68th level. The elevator covers 6 meters in one second, so it will take about one minute to reach the level. During the ascent, you will see breathtaking views of the city of London. You can walk inside floors 68 and 69 and visit the outdoor bridge on level 72.

    With no time limit, you will have the freedom to explore the floor for as long as you want. Once you arrive on the bridge, you can look out over the city of London. Have fun spotting the London Eye, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and 20 Fenchurch Street (Walkie Talkie) from above. You can also use digital telescopes with touchscreens to zoom in on these attractions. At level 72 you can also buy a glass of champagne to enjoy the performances that take place every day at the attraction.
