Attractions - Tower of London
One of the world’s most fortified complexes, the Tower of London construction began in 1078 which continued over several centuries. It was the site where Edward IV’s young princes and heirs were killed by their wicked uncle, Richard III, according to Shakespeare. The first wooden fort on this site was erected by William the Conquerer in 1066, which was later replaced by a stone keep, afterward known as the White Tower. Apart from being the residence of Royal families for more than five centuries, it also served as a prison for Royal personalities, including Lady Jane Grey. Until 1810, the Tower housed the Royal Mint and the armor worn by Henry VIII also remains here. The Crown Jewels and regalia are also kept here. You can also get a view of the Medieval Palace, the infamous Bloody Tower, and over 90 inscriptions made by prisoners in the Beauchamp Tower. Free guided tours are available for the Martin Tower, and the Crowns and Diamonds Exhibition.
