دليل زيارة برج لندن: التذاكر والمواعيد وجواهر التاج

Even for a seasoned traveler who has seen the riches of the Louvre or the Vatican, the sheer scale of the collection at the Tower is staggering. The Koh-i-Noor diamond is a true pinch me moment and the highlight of my trip here. It was great to see more of the British heritage.

Spent a good 3 1/2 hours walking around here with my partner. Could have actually stayed longer and joined the guided beefeater groups, we found everything so interesting and learnt so much about things I thought I already knew about. So cool seeing the famous tower raven up close too.

Brought my 10 year old son here for the day who is history obsessed, he was amazed by the royal armouries exhibition and loved the interactive games.

I was so glad to see that there was a storage place for buggy’s in the entrance of the Tower as this saved us (mostly my husband) from carrying it up any stairs especially when having a toddler too this can be challenging. It also meant we were not limited to where we could go as pushchairs are not permitted in the white tower, considering we are in London we had no issues leaving our belongings there :)

I usually prefer exploring on my own and skipping the guided tours however the Beefeater tour completely changed the vibe of the Tower for me, not only the unbelievable historical stories but their own personal stories / background made the experience 10x better. If you want to actually feel the history of London rather than just look at it, find a Beefeater. They make the entire experience.

My friend & I visited the Tower of London this January, for us it was definitely the right time to go as we didn’t have to queue for the entrance nor the Crown Jewels unlike in the summer months they could last for miles,kind of impacting the experience, also meaning we could roam around much more freely and take our time taking it all in without being rushed or pushed along. As for the talking tours it is nice to have smaller groups instead of large crowding and more distraction. I recommend :)
