Tower of London

HistoryMilitaryOpen until 5:30pmFrom £35.8Tower Hill

Der Tower gehört zu den seltenen Orten, an denen jeder Stein eine Geschichte erzählt – meist eine düstere. Errichtet von William the Conqueror, diente er als königliche Residenz, Zeughaus, Schatzkammer und Hinrichtungsstätte. Die Kronjuwelen sind atemberaubend (mit Warteschlangen ist zu rechnen), die Yeoman Warders bieten wirklich unterhaltsame Führungen, und die Raben stehen per königlichem Erlass unter Schutz. Nicht gerade günstig, aber angesichts der geballten Geschichte lohnt es sich.
