Tower of London

The Tower of London has a remarkable and grim history, as it was the site of torture and death, making it one of the most intriguing and fascinating places to visit in London. When you take a trip here, you will discover the history of the palace, armoury and how it functioned as a fortress. Many events happen here throughout the year, especially for the kids, with free activities and demonstrations (check their website for latest information.) The tours are interesting, as you can join an iconic Beefeater and hear their stories, as well as stand where famous heads have been chopped off! The legend of the Tower's ravens is also a story to ask about. Children can get tickets from £13.10, while adult tickets retail for £27.50 per ticket.
