Some of the most famous sites at this fabulous attraction include: the world famous Beefeaters (officially known as the Yeoman Warders), The Tower Ravens (amongst the Tower of London’s most celebrated and famous sites), Line of Kings (located in the entrance floor of the White Tower, this is the world’s longest running visitor attraction), Royal Beasts (discover where exotic animals were held captive for more than 600 years as part of the Royal Menagerie), The White Tower (one of the most important castle keeps in the word), The Prisoners Exhibition (an exciting and interactive display that reveals plenty of stories and secrets of the prisoners held captive in the tower over the years) and of course the Crown Jewels Exhibition in all of its glory!

We are staying in London for Summer and love the Tower of London. Look out for the Tudor days where they have lots of activities in the moat around the Tower and story scramble where they mess up the stories and families have to help put them together again. This Summer Anne Boleyn is walking around the Tower and there are sword fights next to the White Tower. There is also the animal trail to discover all the animals that used to be in the Tower many years ago.
I would recommend in the Summer going to the Crown Jewels at 9am to avoid queuing. The large tour groups usually arrive soon after and it quickly builds up.

Brilliant day out! There was so much more to see and do than I expected, all of which was amazing. I've been to London several times before and only ever walked past the Tower but I will definitely be visiting again with friends and family.
