Admission ticket free -
1Tower of London
Step through the ancient gates with your timed entry tickets, pass through security, and follow your guide along the fortress walkways. You'll stop at Traitor's Gate, the water entrance where prisoners like Anne Boleyn arrived knowing they would never leave, and then move on to the Bloody Tower, where two young princes vanished without explanation and Sir Walter Raleigh spent years locked inside plotting his next voyage. The route ends at Tower Green, where some of Tudor England's most powerful figures were executed on royal orders. Your guide puts the politics behind each death into plain terms, so by the time you leave, the stones feel less like a backdrop and more like a crime scene.
