Top 100 Things To Do In London, England

Tower of London, England

Listed At 1 (up from 2) Tower of London

The Tower of London. Now a great historic wonder the Tower of London was a place of great misery, torture, beheading and considerable inconsiderate behavour.

Ravens are still held in Tower through fear their release will make the Tower crumble into the London traffic.

You can tour the Tower of London with the jolly Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters. The large ones look a little Santa Claus in uniform. The Beefeaters are actually retired ex-service men so watch your step. Entertaining and informative and, at a stretch, they may even have a good rack joke to tell you. The tours can be engaging and funny and hey, its all history now, water under the traitors gate.

The not to-be photographed (so we can sell you postcards) Crown Jewels are worth a quick look as you wiz past on your travelator. Are they real or just fake? Who really knows. Just don’t lose your head trying to find out. Whatever the kindly Beefeater says they have to be fake. Would you keep your best sparkles on public display?

Void the avoidable audio tour as it contains much of the information contained in plaques posted about the Tower.

Tower Bridge is just gorgeous. The catwalk at the top of the bridge provides fantastic views of London. Combine with a visit to the Tower and your day is done.

A few years ago London Bridge was sold (yes sold) and rebuilt somewhere in an American desert. It is believed locally that Tower Bridge was the real target.
