18 acres. That’s how much space the infamous Tower of London takes up in this bustling city. It sits along the River Thames, so a great way to get here is on a river boat. And it’s right next to another iconic monument: Tower Bridge.

There’s so much history contained within these ancient walls and remnants exist like original rooms where King Edward I lived and the famous Bloody Tower and White Tower. And of course, we can’t forget the Jewel House where the actual collection of British crown jewels are kept safe. Make your trip easier to manage with a helpful guide and guaranteed tickets to the Tower of London.
