As part of a very hectic few days in England’s capital – London, we decided to visit the Tower of London. It is not the cheapest of attractions with adults £18 and children £9 or a family ticket... more

    5 Stars A Fabulous Day Out 31/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So much to see.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A lot of walking and stairs.

    Last October it was my Dads birthday, my Mum asked him if there was anything special he wanted to do and after a lot of thought he decided that he would like a trip to the Tower of London, it was somewhere he had always wanted to go and loves anything to do with history it was right up his street, me and my husband also went along, my Mum wasn’t keen on the idea as she’s not really into that sort of thing but it was Dads choice so that’s where we went, personally I enjoy going around things like that and would always go around castles with my Dad on holiday. When we arrived at The Tower I had ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A piece of living history.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a lot.

    ~ ~ No visit to London could be considered complete without a visit to this outstanding and totally fascinating piece of living history that could nearly be described as the very “soul” of England. ~ ~ It is said that the Tower dates from the time of William The Conqueror, and it celebrated its official 900th birthday back in 1978. But the reality is that there were already fortifications on this site for more than a thousand years before this, going right back to Roman times and beyond. The Tower is at the very heart of London’s history, with all the buildings from Norman ... more

    4 Stars Be careful with the crown Jewels at the Tower Of London 30/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots to see, entertaining staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Busy

    As we live in London there is luckilly quite a lot for us to do. We decided we would go and see one of the tourist attractions even though we knew it being a bank holiday, wherever we went would be packed. We decided after a bit of thought that we would try the Tower Of London this time as I haven't been there for years and boyfriend never had visited. To get to the Tower Of London is fairly easy. We travelled on the tube, which is on the circle and district lines. The tube station is just across the road from the main attraction so it was easy to spot and there are signs also in the tube ... more

    Advantages Advantages most of the attractions are included in the price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not a cheap day out

    NAME OF LOCATION: Tower of London is perhaps the most famous of London’s attractions after Buckingham Palace. Situated on the River Thames near Tower Bridge, this impressive palace and fortress is an extremely popular tourist attraction.

I checked out the website www.tower-of-london.com which stated that prices were £11.30 adults and £8.50 concessions/children. ATTRACTIONS: Crown Jewels (included in the price), Yeoman Guard guided tour (included in the price) ... more

    4 Stars History of England at the bloodiest 08/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages just go and see it by yourself

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive

    If there is something that you shouldn’t miss in London is a visit to the London Tower. Jewels, arms, bloody tales, ghosts and treachery, who needs need any more? It is England live history. It has been fortress, palace, prison, and even in our days it is not only a tourist place but is still in use and inhabited. The visit takes hours and it closes about 5 so go as early as possible (don’t forget the queues). Entry is quite expensive (about £12 my last time). Groups pay a bit less so I suggest taking a look to the groups entrance and joining someone, who may be searching for you ... more
