About this tour
This admission ticket gets you inside the Tower of London, the riverside fortress William the Conqueror began building in the 1070s. Inside you can see the Crown Jewels in the Jewel House, climb the White Tower to its royal armor collection, and look out for the Yeoman Warders, the guards everyone calls Beefeaters. The resident ravens are usually near Tower Green. Plan on two to three hours to cover the main sights, and book ahead to skip the longest lines.
