THE TOWER OF LONDON WALKING TOUR
11 am Tower Hill Tube (Sun and Wed)
Meet by the “Tower Hill Tram” coffee stall
In the beginning William created the Tower. And, yes, the biblical echo is deliberate. That’s how important the Tower is. Crown jewels, battlements, Traitor’s Gate, the executioner’s block, armour, centuries-old ceremonies, the stage on which so much of our history climaxed: question isn’t whether you’ll go to the Tower – the question is whether you’ll go First Class. And let’s tell it like it is. First Class isn’t tacky and touristy. It isn’t wandering aimlessly. What it is, is seeing the Tower with a great guide. Because that thrilling, chilling past is still there – sighs run in blood down Tower walls – but you have to know where to look. And how to look. Guided by Tom, Brian or Judy. *Big discount on the Tower’s admission charge!
