Description:
The Tower may have a grim reputation for torture and death, but within these ancient walls you will discover other stories of a royal palace, an armoury and even a zoo.
Be dazzled by the priceless Crown Jewels, see the famous ravens, listen to the bloody tales of the Yeoman Warders and stand where famous heads rolled and prisoners wept.
Look out for Fortress, opening at the end of July and discover life-size medieval siege machines as you prepare for battle!
