London Tower, Historic fortress on River Thames, London, England

The Tower of London consists of multiple stone buildings arranged within two concentric defensive walls and a moat along the Thames River.

William the Conqueror initiated the construction of the White Tower in 1078 as a demonstration of Norman power over the conquered English territory.

The Yeoman Warders, ceremonial guardians of the Tower, maintain centuries-old traditions while conducting tours and protecting the Crown Jewels.

The Tower welcomes visitors daily from Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 4:30pm and Sunday to Monday 10am to 4:30pm, with last admission at 3:30pm.

The Tower houses seven black ravens, maintained by a Ravenmaster, as an ancient decree states their presence protects the fortress and the kingdom.
