Tower of London, London

Go early, this place gets crowds, but for good reason; it was a great experience. Lots of great information and seeing the crown jewels exhibit was a highlight for everyone. There are benches, bathrooms and small refreshment stands on the courtyard, but you may want to bring some food and water. Plan for a coupe of hours here at least. The hop on hop off boat stops right at the tower. And several bus companies have stops just above the tower (big bus, etc). Hope that info helps you on your visit!

Great place to visit. Really educational. Lots of different areas to see. Activity fun on for families, children and parents alike. Leave plenty of time for picking up tickets as the queues are long. Best to print of tickets before going. When booking online there was no choice for selecting free carer. But ask at the kiosks and if you have proof of disability and they will charge appropriately or refund you if it is already paid. It is a bit pricey but it is well worth the money. Easy to get to using the tube, so no worries about parking.

My second visit and loved it just as much as the first time. Really worth a visit if you are in London. We had time to visit only for about 2 and a half hours or so and it was definitely enough to see the most important bits and some extras. Definitely start with the Crown jewels and work your way around it at your own pace afterwards.

Brilliant day out even with a five year old and three year old. We skipped some of the less age appropriate sections but still managed to spend a good 4 hours looking around. The crown jewels were particularly interesting for the kids but go early as it got busy around lunch time. Tickets are pricey but they're good value for what you get.

What can I say? Probably one one the top historic tourist attractions in the world. Great blend of political and military history dating back 940 years. Gruesome tales of executions and daring escapes. Then there's the crown jewels. Staffed by amazingly knowledgeable and friendly people. A must see if you are visiting London. You can easily spend at least half a day here and only scratch the surface.
