This was the highlight of my London trip! It's an impressive and truly medieval castle with a varied and rich history. We took a Yeoman Warder tour which was SO worth it! Most of the castle grounds are accessible to the public (you can go up towers or on the ramparts), it's clean and well kept, and while the gift shop has the typical, touristy junk, they also carry relevant history books and decor. Going in the morning is the best time (lighter crowds): then you avoid the really large crowds. If you are a fan of medieval, royalist, or British history, then visiting the Tower of London is a MUST!
