The History of the Tower of London

Constructed in the 11th century, the Tower of London has remained a central feature of London for centuries. Its many historical uses have given the Tower a formidable and often chilling reputation. It once served as a home for “the royal beasts,” the Royal Mint, and a notorious prison. A visit to the Tower of London offers a chance to uncover extensive British history.

Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters)

The Tower of London is famously guarded by its Yeoman Warders, often known as Beefeaters. Historically, they were responsible for the security of prisoners within the Tower. Today, these iconic Warders are often seen near the Crown Jewels, overseeing the Tower’s daily activities. Their presence helps visitors learn more about this historic landmark on London’s north bank.

The Tower of London Crown Jewels

Beyond the Yeoman Warders, visitors can experience the majestic Crown Jewels. These dazzling, diamond-encrusted masterpieces are a vital part of any visit to the Tower. They showcase incredible artistry. The jewels were once owned by many famous monarchs in British royal history. Visitors can see which crowns were worn by various kings and queens, including Queen Elizabeth II’s exquisite Imperial State Crown, worn at State Openings of Parliament.

Royal Beasts Exhibition

The Tower of London was once home to a wide range of wild animals. The interactive Royal Beasts Exhibition offers visitors an insight into this fascinating aspect of its past. Creatures from lions to baboons, and even a polar bear, once resided within the Tower’s walls.

The Line of Kings

This exhibition features historic armours, including those worn by Henry VIII, Charles I, and James II. These pieces are displayed in a grand procession, accompanied by beautifully carved horses. Dating back to the 17th century, the Line of Kings is recognised as one of the world’s earliest museum exhibits. It primarily focuses on male monarchs who reinforced the monarchy’s desired image for early Tower visitors.
