Visiting Tower of London
What to see and how to plan
Start by understanding the relationship between the keep, surrounding walls and later royal buildings. Its changing roles make the complex more than a single tower or a single historical episode.
Why this place matters
William the Conqueror's White Tower established a lasting symbol of royal power; the wider complex developed through the medieval and early modern periods.
