Built as both a protector and a Palace, the stonewalled turrets are home to a compelling and brutal history. Here, countless game-changing moments in British society unfurled, from the executions of Kings and Queens to the imprisonment of war spies, and everything in between. Alongside its beautiful riverside surrounds and its mighty stone facades, the Tower of London trip will take you through these palace grounds to reveal a darker, more threatening side of the United Kingdom’s history, bound to captivate from the moment you arrive.
As they say, the early bird gets the worm. Head to the Tower in the early mornings on both weekends and weekdays for a quieter and more pleasant sightseeing experience.
