Excellent place, you can easily spend three of four hours here visiting the various exhibitions within the castle. A walk around the top of the walls gives you good views of Tower Bridge and some of the city. The Highlight has to be the "Crown Jewels" magnificently displayed within the vaults of the "Jewel House". For the display of regal crowns they have a slow moving escalator, great idea as allows everyone to get a good close up view of these magnificent bejeweled pieces.
Yeoman Warders provide entertaining stories and tours of parts of the castle. The "White Tower" has a great display of armour and weaponry, but be prepared for plenty of steps. Kids love the gruesome "Torture at the Tower" display. The "Fusilier" museum is also well worth a visit.
There plenty more one could mention. Thoroughly good day out and highly recommend.
