Traditional London

I believe that I am fortunate to have one of the best jobs in the world. I not only work in the Tower of London but I have the privilege to live within the walls along with my family. To live in a Palace in the centre of London is really special, and something that most visitors find hard to believe until you actually point out your property. There is more than 900 years of history that The Tower of London has produced and even as a Guardian at The Tower I learn new things every day. Historic Royal Palaces is an organisation that I am proud to be part of and in my spare time I enjoy exploring our other Palaces, such as Hampton Court and Kensington Palace to learn all about their fascinating history.
