A very cool place to visit in London. Full of history! Our guide did great but wasn’t allowed in some of the towers. Definitely go into the central tower, the White Tower after the tour. It’s the coolest of the towers!

Mind blowing insight into British history. The building and collections of jewels, armour etc are spectacular and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
Highly recommend over an unguided entry.
