Landmark
The Tower has stood on the Thames for nearly a thousand years as fortress, royal residence and prison, and this early-access slot gets visitors inside around 8:00, ahead of the general public, with a Beefeater guide sharing its history and its darker stories of executions and imprisonment. The Crown Jewels β the working regalia still used in coronations β draw the longest queues later in the day, so seeing them first is the main advantage here. With perfect must-see and culture scores, this is one of the most complete ways to experience the Tower without losing half a morning to lines.
