  Tower of London

  The Tower of London is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. The origins of the Tower begin with the Norman invasion of England. In the 1070s, William the Conqueror, fresh from his victory but nervous of rebellion, began to build a massive stone fortress in London to defend and proclaim his royal power. Nothing like it had ever been seen in England before. William the Conqueror’s great stone keep, later known as the White Tower, was once defended by a deep ditch on its north and west sides only. The eastern side was defended by the ancient Roman London city wall, whilst the River Thames protected the south side. Your Tower of London admission ticket includes the Crown Jewels, the ravens, the public outside areas of the Tower of London, Tower Green, White Tower, including Line of Kings, and Armoury in Action, Bloody Tower, Medieval Palace, Battlements (excluding Martin Tower), Torture at the Tower exhibition and Fusiliers museum.

  Kensington Palace

  Kensington Palace was once a small and suburban villa, known as Nottingham House. New monarchs William III and Mary II chose this modest mansion in 1689 to be their country retreat. Over the years, Stuart and Georgian monarchs transformed the palace into a fashionable home for Britain’s young royal families. Queen Caroline shaped the palace and gardens, and Queen Victoria spent her childhood here. She left to live in Buckingham Palace in 1837. Kensington later became home for minor royals, including her daughter, the talented sculptor Princess Louise. Princess Diana's memorial site is also located on grounds of Kensington Palace
