I love London!
I've been to London twice (about to go on my 3rd trip this spring), and I have always gone (and will go once again), to the Tower of London. The castle is absolutely AMAZING! There is soooo much to see. They have all kinds of tours, the beefeaters give great lectures, they have people acting out shows, and the BEST part is the Crown Jewels. They are absolutely BREATHTAKING.

Great Fun, Convenient for Food and Bathrooms
I had never been to London, and I visited the Tower of London last week (March 2009). There were many towers to walk through, and each tower contained many objects to view. When my boyfriend and I got hungry, we took a break and went to eat at the cafe inside the complex. I really enjoyed my food, and there were a lot of hot and cold choices, as well as snacks including cappuccino and cakes. There were also bathrooms inside and outside of the complex, and I found each of these extremely clean (compared to public restrooms in New York). There were also many benches that you could sit on, in case you get tired. Overall, this was a really tourist-friendly place that you could spend hours enjoying.

Loved it, going back to U.K. just to see it again
This was wonderful, the plays were delightful and so informative and captured childrens attention. When they normally would by pulling on you to leave, they are begging to stay, who would have ever thought??? learning made fun.

IF PLANNING ON GOING FROM CANADA PLEASE READ!
Amazing place.. HOWEVER........... I bought a pewter flask from there and I lost it. I was just wondering if anyone else bought a flask from the Tower of London or anyone planning on going there from Canada/USA that would buy one and ship to me if I sent a paypal for the cost of the flask and a bit extra. It would be MUCH appreciated. Please let me know if you are planning on going and are from Canada. Anyone from Ontario would be AMAZING. Thank you so much. Email me at fun.123@live.ca

Must
I know this is a big tourist stop, but for good reason: it's quite a sight. I spent 4 hours wandering around the Tower with an audio guide, and it was some of the most magical time I spent in London. Highly recommended, and again- if you're not already on a guided tour- go for the audio guide.

Must Go, if you Visit London!
The Tower of London is a must for any first-time visitor to London or England. The Tower of London is really Castle located in the City of London. The place is historical and you may take advantage of the complimentary tour by the Yeoman Warder and spend the rest of the day exploring the other sights on the grounds.

Best Sight in London
To appeciate the British crown and history, this is a must. The free Beefeater tours are great, plus the crown jewels and lots of medeival weapons and artifacts. My favorite spot in London.

A full day out that won't disapoint
Although the entrance price does appear to be expensive, this place will take a whole day so is actually very good values compared to some other attractions in London. The Yeoman tour is great fun and really enjoyable. There is often long queues for the Crown Jewels and as there is not a proper queuing system for some displays you often find some people pushing in, so it can take quite a while to see everything in here. However, it is a very enjoyable day out and make sure you don't plan anything else to do as there is so much to see here!
