Discover royal life in the Medieval Palace of Henry III and Edward I, then delve into the chilling history of the Bloody Tower, infamous for the mystery of the "Princes in the Tower."
Meet the Tower’s resident ravens, legendary guardians of the site, and experience a lively Yeoman Warder (Beefeater) tour, rich with tales of imprisonment, executions, and intrigue. Finally, witness the iconic Tower Guard protecting the Crown Jewels—a timeless symbol of royal heritage.
