A fortress steeped in history from Norman times. The Yeoman Warders have many interesting facts to relate on the guided tours. Unfortunately, one doesn't get to spend too much time admiring the Crown Jewels due to the long queue. There is a nice collection of armour in the White Tower and the information boards are great. There is an assortment of objects like cannons, helmets and weapons from different wars. A memorial to royal prisoners executed on Tower Green was added later on.
