    What a Fort!

    The Tower of London is a must-see sight. The size of it is stunning and there is so much to see. Crown Jewels - enough said!

    So much history to see in this impressive place!

    It was so much more than I expected - we bought a London Pass and chose this as one of the attractions to see. One could spend three hours here to see everything: hear the gruesome history of traitors' executions; see the Crown Jewels; view...More

    Great History

    Visited here with family in October. The Tower has some very interesting history and the crown jewels are here. We all enjoyed the visit.

    Expensive, overcrowded, bland

    The Tower of London is pretty much always heaving with so many people and you must queue for a very long time to get into the individual exhibition parts within the structure itself. I really loathed it and regretted paying £40 for two people to...More

    I have visited The Tower several times over the past 30 years, and strangely it seems to get better each visit. Free guided tours are available, although you are free to wander at your own leisure if you want. The queues here weren't bad, and...More

    You'll spend hours learning a lot.

    Be prepared for lots of walking on cobblestones and stairs. I knew next to nothing about the Tower of London, so we bought the audio guides for 5 GBP each. It was well worth it. We learned a lot about the history of Britain and...More
