Tower of London.

Tower of London.

We have always wanted to visit this iconic attraction but never have had the time over the years but it was worth it...

As for location, getting here is pretty easy, the closest stations are Tower Hill Underground (Circle/District Line) and Tower Gateway (DLR), both are walking distance from here which is great.
As for buses, i know the number 15 passes by here but i'm sure a few more do or close by which i don't know off.

My advice is to book your tickets in advance via their website to save time and perhaps a little money too but if you were to buy them in person, there are locations that sell them right by the attraction. It is a good idea to get there a little early too, saves queuing.

There are time slots if you want to hear the Beefeaters (Yeomen Warders) take you on a little tour about the history of the place which last less than a hour.

There are a few cafes scattered around for refreshments and same goes for the gift shops but speaking of the gift shops, each one are different from the other, so make sure if you want to purchase something, get it there and then, although at the end of your visit, there will be a final gift shop with most, if not all of the smaller ones combined.

Because of the structure, some place aren't made for modern equipment, so if you plan to bring your little one that's still using a pushchair & pram, i wouldn't advice to bring it unless you don't mind leaving it out nearby or have a foldable one.

My advice would be to wear comfortable footwear and perhaps a backpack to put your belongings and gift shop items in to save you carrying it throughout the visit.

Lastly, take your time, don't rush, it should take between 2-4 hours from start to finish.

P.S. Wednesday seem to be the least busiest, perhaps book your visit then?
