📖

Full description

Founded by William the Conqueror shortly after 1066, the Tower of London has served over the centuries as royal palace, prison, and execution site, its White Tower keep and surrounding walls now housing the Crown Jewels — a working collection of coronation regalia still used in royal ceremonies today. Yeoman Warders, the famous 'Beefeaters,' lead free tours included with entry, recounting the site's darker episodes alongside its ceremonial present, from the ravens said to protect the fortress to the executions carried out within its walls.

With a maximum culture score and near-maximum must-see rating in this batch, it's one of London's essential historic sights, and reviewers consistently rank the Crown Jewels as the highlight worth the wait in the queue. Plan for a full two hours to see the jewels, the towers, and at least one Beefeater tour.
