No trip to London is complete without a visit to the Tower of London. The history is overwhelming and the displays are generally very well done. The audio tour is very helpful, though I prefer the tours by the Yoeman Warders. Recommend buying tickets in advance on line. Follow the guide maps for the best, most complete experience. If you pass on the torture/execution portion, you won't have missed anything. Stairs on some of the towers are quite narrow, winding and difficult to navigate. Great photo opportunities throughout. We had visited about 20 years earlier. The Crown Jewels exhibit has been improved incredibly. The line can get long, but it moves fairly quickly. It's not to be missed. Even the cafe is decent and reasonably priced. They have a great gift shop.
