This is a nice London attraction, be too crowed. It has very long lines outside to get in. It is best to buy a ticket via internet. When you finally get in, there are long lines to get in the buildings. When you are in the buildings it again is very crowded. What you see is nice but it is... More

We enjoyed experiencing this slice of history. The free Beefeater tour is very entertaining and informative. We also enjoyed watching / participating in the historical reenactment. We liked the armour displays and the crown jewels of course. The cafe was busy, but offers a great range of food options. More
