Tower of London 4

A very cool structure, complete with goons showing you how old timey war weapons were used and fired - although their aim was terrible; however, once in side, the (pardon the pun) "gem" of the Tower of London is the Crown Jewels. Every other part of the Tower is free to move through. You will have to wait in a line to see the Jewels. Worth it? Yep! NO PHOTOS!

Follow a beefeater or make your own way through the tower, but make your way to the Tower. It is truly a great place to visit and learn of English History. You must see the crown jewels and marvel at their size! It's amazing to think about Royalty when you are there, but to see know the Tower has a gruesome past!

The Tower of London was a great place to visit in London. There is so much history revolving around the place, and there are plenty of things to see that will interest everyone. It is also very wide open on the grounds, and I didn't feel rushed or cramped like in many museums. This would definitely top my list of things to see in London if I had to reccomend anything to visitors.

Tower of London 4

Once dominating the skyline, this imposing building summed up much of London's history. It looks strangely out of place now as it is being swamped by the new glass office buildings in proximity to it but it is definitely a great day out and St Katherine's dock and the Tower Bridge all fit in well with it.

I had been to London about half a dozen times before I visited the Tower - should have done it the first time I was there. Although in a sense it's not particularly spectacular, it is linked to so much in British history, and is so well presented (opportunity to speak with the Beefeaters was a high point for me), it's almost obligatory to visit it.

London has and always will be my favorite place to visit. The Tower of London and Tower bridge are my favorite places to visit as well as the changing of the guard at Buckingham. They are all breath taking. Thank you, Loretta K Piketon, Ohio

Tower of London 5

Went to see this last March and totally fell in love with it. It has so much history its unbelievable. The Tower of London is extremely easy to get to, and doesn't cost much to get to. If you are planning to go around a lot of London in one day, its advisable to get a 1 day travelcard for zones 1 and 2 which costs £4.10, you can use it on the buses as well. The tour with the Beefeater is very informative and entertaining. The rooms are magnificent and its very awe inspiring to see the jewels. So much gold in one room!

Do not go to London without seeing this attraction. It is bathed in history and the Crown Jewels are exceptional.

The Tower of London is a wonderful tour destination. It is easily to get to via underground. The Crown Jewels alone are worth the trip.

The inside the complex, Tower of London, is really interesting and historic. One gets to see the Crown Jewels, and that is a great spectacle in itself. However, Tower of London is far away from other attractions in London. The cost to get into the Tower is astronomical, that is why I gave it a good, not a great rating.

Easy to get to by the underground subway. The chamber of the medevil tortures is cool, but freaky. Unbelievable jewels.

Fun! This is a super cool place to learn the history. I especially liked the crown jewels and the chopping block where Anne Bolayn was beheaded. Ravens were cool, too. The torture instruments displayed were a bit gory, but realistic.

The crown jewels are interesting, but I was more impressed by the Beefeaters and those damn ravens.
