From tales of torture and treason to the charms of the Crown Jewels, the Tower of London is home to a millennium of historical allure for the whole family to enjoy.

Some of the Tower’s most remarkable sights include:

The Crown Jewels

The dazzling Crown Jewels are comprised of a staggering 23,578 gems. The Tower of London is also home to the Cullinan and 105.6 Carat Koh-i-Noor diamonds. This breathtaking collection can be found in the Jewel House.

Beefeaters

Yeoman Warders, better known by their ambiguous nickname ‘Beefeaters’, have been guarding the Tower of London since the Tudor age. They are the oldest British military corps still in existence and are part of the ancient Ceremony of the Keys, with their vibrant uniforms and foreboding auras attracting tourists for centuries.

The Tower Ravens

The jet-black ravens are amongst the Tower of London’s most celebrated and famous sights. Legend dictates that “If the six ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it.” That’s why the specially-appointed Raven Master ensures that at least seven ravens (the necessary six and one spare) are well-fed, happy and in no hurry to leave!

Line of Kings
