FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5An absolute must-see in London—experience history up close! My verdict: Visiting the Tower of London was the absolute highlight of my trip to London. The perfect blend of dark history, royal splendor, and gripping stories. What I especially liked: The Crown Jewels: The sight of the real royal crowns and scepter is breathtaking and perfectly staged. The historic atmosphere: You can literally feel the centuries-old history as you walk through the ancient fortress walls and the White Tower.The famous ravens: It’s fascinating to see these legendary birds up close in person. A quick tip for future visitors: Be sure to buy your tickets online in advance to avoid long lines. Also, plan on spending at least 3 to 4 hours there, as the grounds are huge and there’s an incredible amount to discover! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to any history buff and visitor to London. Five well-deserved stars!MMarcel B
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5We arrived at a Tower of London at midday and the entrance was pretty straight forward, we were received with a smile and within seconds they scanned the tickets and we were allowed in. The whole experience was incredible, the history, the staff, the beeefeaters and of course the Crown Jewels were an incredible and beautiful place to explore. We spent 5 hours in the area studying the history and culture.KKlein S
FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5A wonderful experience. Just booking your ticket in advance saves you from having to wait in line, which can sometimes be long. Plus, it gives you access to a very comprehensive audio guide (note: available in English only). A great experience. I highly recommend it.IIngo P
FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5The wait to get in was surprisingly short—no lines, not even for the Crown Jewels. The Tower as a whole is very interesting. A visit here should definitely be on your itinerary when you're in London.FFrøydis B
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5I googled tickets to Tower of London, and Headout looked safe to use. The tickets were confirmed and received at once upon ordering, so it was easy to use. Only need your phone.
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.
