About this tour
Step inside one of London's oldest landmarks with a student admission ticket that gets you through the gates of this riverside fortress on the Thames. You'll stand before the Crown Jewels, climb the White Tower that William the Conqueror started building in the 1070s, and keep an eye out for the Yeoman Warders, the red-uniformed guards most people know as Beefeaters. Give yourself two to three hours to see the main sights, and note this is for full-time students aged 18 and over with valid ID.
