Ο Tower of London είναι ένα από αυτά τα σπάνια μέρη όπου κάθε πέτρα έχει τη δική της ιστορία -και συνήθως όχι ευχάριστη. Χτισμένος από τον William the Conqueror, έχει λειτουργήσει ως βασιλική κατοικία, οπλοστάσιο, θησαυροφυλάκιο και τόπος εκτελέσεων. Τα Κοσμήματα του Στέμματος είναι εκθαμβωτικά (περιμένετε ουρές), οι Yeoman Warders προσφέρουν πραγματικά διασκεδαστικές ξεναγήσεις, και τα κοράκια προστατεύονται με βασιλικό διάταγμα. Δεν είναι φθηνό, αλλά αξίζει για την πυκνότητα της ιστορίας του.
