Discover the White Tower and Medieval Fortress
The White Tower is the central keep and oldest surviving major building in the complex. Built with stone brought from Normandy and local labour, it was designed to project Norman authority and protect the new royal stronghold.
As the Tower developed, Henry III and Edward I expanded its curtain walls, towers, moat, and royal accommodation. A guide can explain how the site changed from a symbol of conquest into a long-standing centre of royal administration and defence.
Learn the Story of Traitors’ Gate
Pass by Traitors’ Gate the historic water entrance beneath St Thomas’s Tower. It was originally a high-status river entrance for access to the royal apartments before becoming closely associated with prisoners brought to the Tower by boat.
The gate’s history is connected with famous prisoners and political conflicts, but individual routes and stories should be presented carefully. The river approach changed over time as the Tower’s outer defences expanded.
Reflect at Tower Green and See the King’s House
On Tower Green, see the modern memorial sculpture dedicated to people condemned to death by the state. The site is associated with executions including that of Anne Boleyn, although not every execution connected with the Tower took place on the Green itself.
Nearby, the King’s House is a sixteenth-century timber-framed building. Formerly known as the Queen’s House, it was renamed in 2022. The building was associated with the Constable of the Tower and includes historic spaces connected with interrogation and imprisonment.
See the Crown Jewels and Meet the Yeoman Warders
Depending on the selected ticket or tour, you may also visit the Crown Jewels, one of the Tower’s most popular attractions, and join a Yeoman Warder tour. Availability, queues, route arrangements, and included access vary, so check the package details before booking.
