Tower of London
Historical site
The Tower of London, a medieval castle on the north bank of the River Thames, has shaped British history for nearly 1,000 years. Built by William the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest, this fortress served as a royal residence, prison, and royal palace to monarchs like Henry III, Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I.
Explore the White Tower, home to the Royal Armouries, and marvel at the Crown Jewels inside the Jewel House. Visit the Bloody Tower, where mysteries linger, and the Beauchamp Tower, filled with prisoner graffiti. Walk through Tower Green, where executions shaped history, and see the remnants of the Royal Mint and Royal Menagerie.
Stroll the Outer Ward, past the City Wall, and enter through Traitors’ Gate. Discover the Wakefield Tower, Lion Tower, and stunning views of Tower Bridge. With ties to Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and the throne, the Tower remains a must-visit.
Join a Yeoman Warders tour, hear tales of kings, princes, and dukes, and step into England’s past.

The museum's tour guide is really professional! The warm voice introduced the cultural relics, and the originally rigid historical stories instantly became very vivid😂

The staff is very nice and you can see the details of your order and where you are sitting. The 2nd floor can be seen clearly, very good show.

I originally booked it because I was afraid that there would be nothing else to buy after entering the museum. I thought that after walking around, I could have afternoon tea and take a break. The tea and snacks were more than enough for two people. I was also lucky that I didn't have to queue.

Choose the place you want to go before you go, and you can use it by scanning the code on site. It is very convenient and cheap. However, if there are many people, you need to give them separate QR codes, otherwise you may have to rely on one person to scan all the people.

It should be the most beautiful church I have seen in London. It is worth visiting. There will be a multilingual guide. The view on the top floor is very beautiful. It is worth a visit.

The location is pretty good! If you are interested in watching a play, you can come and have a look. The stage layout is really very detailed, and there will be live performances by the orchestra, which is quite exciting. Even if you buy your tickets the night before, you can use them right away, which is great!

Very useful! I went to many places with the card this time. The most recommended one is that you can use the London pass to take the boat. Many popular attractions are near the shuttle boat, which can also save you a lot of money.

Quite a fun interactive experience for families. The entire experience is approximately 1 hour, and adults and kids all had a good time. No photo/videos allowed during the experience.
