Very disappointed. I had waited some 60 years to see this national icon when it was not overrun by tourists.
While the latter made that an excellent experience, the actual displays and display information themselves were sparse, very basic and fairly amateurish when compared to the panache one has got used to at places like the V&A and British Museum.
It seems almost as if they must have been deemed to be of little importance to the vast majority of visitors who are foreign tourists and whose throughput therefore needs to be processed with as few opportunities for delay as possible. And the little information that was tended to focus on names that would be likely to be most familiar to foreign tourists ... Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Lady Jane Grey etc etc ... and not those who spent time in the Tower who were arguably more pivotal to the wider history of Great Britain.
But the biggest disappointment was the Crown Jewels which are displayed in very bad light and in a somewhat dingy setting and could only be viewed for a little more than 30 seconds ... whilst standing on a travellator.
Luckily because we visited when permissable during the Covid-19 pandemic, there was practically no one else around, so we're were able to take more than one trip on the travellator and get the sort of good look that few others would ever get.

Should you visit the Tower of London and Crown Jewels ? Yes, because they are national icons of historic importance.
Would I visit again ? No !
