What can I say?! It's the most iconic fortress in the UK. It sums up and tells of a thousand years of English and UK history. The Yeoman Warders give the most entertaining, un-PC, tours. Interactive displays in the White Tower itself bring history alive for young and old alike. The Crown Jewels are worth the forty-five minute queue for those who don't go when The Tower opens at 10am; they sparkle like nothing else I've seen! ...and then there's the ravens! Watch out if you picnic there and have an open tube of Pringles on view! They are very entertaining. On bank holidays there are sometimes medieval re-enactors and children can dress in scaled down amour and learn how to fight with a sword. At other times teams of actors take you through the drama of key moments in the history of the UK. That is, hopefully all this will happen as soon as we get back to full strength after Covid-19. Meanwhile the White Tower and Jewel House are still open and the Yeoman Warders still give the friendliest welcome around and readily share their matchless sense of humour. Enjoy your visit!
