I visited it this week with my little cousins (aged 5 and 9) and we all absolutely loved it! (I was way more excited than the kids.)
It's quite expensive, but well worth the money. It took us over 5 hours to explore and enjoy the Tower and surrounding grounds (like I said well worth the money).
There was so much to see that if I wrote about it all my post would be mamouth so I've selected a few of my favourtie bits from the day.
The "Beefeater" tour, is brilliant you get lead around by a Yeoman Warder who is full of brilliant facts and stories about the tower. The best thing I learnt all day was that the "Beefeaters" live in the grounds of the Tower. How cool would that be???? My address is... SGW The Tower of London, London!!
Obviously another favourite of mine was the Crown Jewels, I obviously don't have pictures of them but they are AMAZING and shiny and sparkly and glittery and dazzling and blingy!! (okay I'll stop now but I literally have not seen anything like it before - any engagement ring I see from now on will never ever compare!!)
The "Hands on History" section in the White Tower was perfect for kids, my cousins loved being able to FINALLY touch something in the Tower, and even I enjoyed trying out some of the games!
The buildings and grounds are beautiful, I've added a few pictures to show you all how beautiful they are. What I loved the most was that you have this increble old building and just behind it you have the Shard and the London Skyline poking up!!!
A real fun day out for any age, there are a lot of windy staircases in some of the Towers, although the Tower of London does has access facilities.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Love J xxx
