 
Situated in the heart of London next to the River Thames, the Tower of London is one of the
greatest medieval castles in England.
Famous for its Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), ravens, the Crown Jewels and its long and bloody
history of imprisonment and executions. The castle has also been used as a royal residence, the
Mint, the Royal Zoo, a public records office and the Royal Observatory as well as containing barracks
for its own garrison and storage for munitions.
The castle also contains the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers' Museum, for which there is an additional
small charge. |
