The Tower of London is one of the most popular tourist attractions in London. The tower is more like a collection of attractions rather than just one. Top among them are the Crown Jewels and others include the White Tower, the largest collections of armours used by Henry the VII, Yeoman Warder Tours, possible graffiti left by Lady Jane Grey, Prisoners Exhibition, Tower Ravens and the Medieval Palace.

Entrance to the Tower of London is ticketed. It is best to arrive early in the day and head straight for the Crown Jewels when you will have the space to look at them better. The Tower gets very busy at peak periods.

Holders of the London Pass get free entry to the Tower of London and jump the queues. This also provides free entrance to other nearby attractions like Tower Bridge Exhibition and HMS Belfast.
