DETAILED OVERVIEW
Tower of London
Explore London’s iconic castle and World Heritage Site without the usual crowds. Get up close to the Crown Jewels, meet the legendary Yeoman Warders and ravens and see the Tower like never before. This magnificent world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones boasts items that are still used in royal ceremonies today. You'll find the Crown Jewels under armed guard in the Jewel House at the Tower of London. These gems are a unique working collection of royal regalia and are still regularly used by The King & Queen Consort for important national ceremonies, such as the State Opening of Parliament. Make sure to look out for the ‘in use’ signs. Learn about the Tower's iconic history as a fortress, palace and prison. Discover how William the Conqueror built the White Tower and hear tales of the prisoners who entered through Traitors' Gate. Yeoman Warders, also known as ‘Beefeaters’, will share details of the famous prisoners executed on Tower Green. Many are now buried nearby in the 16th-century Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula. It is said that the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress. There are seven ravens at the Tower today — the required six, plus one spare! Charles II is thought to have been the first to insist that the ravens of the Tower be protected after he was warned that the crown and the Tower itself would fall if they left. The Crown Jewels have been stored and displayed at the Tower of London since 1661, continuing a long tradition of storing precious objects here. This magnificent world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones is part of the Royal Collection and boasts items that are still used in royal ceremonies today. Now you can discover more stories about the Crown Jewels than ever before in an exhibition exploring their history and significance.
