Tower of London

La Tour de Londres est un site couteux (43£ pour 2 adultes et 1 enfant). Certes l'intérieur est intéressant (tour blanche, joyaux de la couronne) mais pour un non anglais cela ne justifie pas le prix.

De l'extérieur on voit bien la forteresse, depuis la rive de la Tamise.

Avec un enfant, il vaut mieux privilégier la visite du HMS Belfast.

I have taken this tour three times in the last 7 years and enjoy it every time. The beefeaters are lovely, the history so rich, and the building a monument. The tour groups are larger in the summer season than the rest of the year, but prebooked tours are not a must, though well advised in peak times. The crown jewels are a must see, as is the weapons museum. Questions ? You can e-mail me at snshinetv@aol.com.

We spent a fascinating 4 hours at the Tower and we still didnt see everything!

I would highly recommend the guided tours provided by the Beefeaters, they make the place come alive and you learn things you never would have known by just looking around.

Was a little disappointed that we didnt get to go into the chapel but there was a service in progress that day, but that just means I have an excuse to visit again!

Crown jewels were great, you go past on a travelator which is good because that means there is never a crowd around the cases (and you can go around and around as many times as you like!).

I have been to quite a few of the big attractions and musuems in London and this by far was the best. It seems expensive for a day out but I think it is completely worth it for the amount of things you see and learn. And if you use your tesco clubcard vouchers, it's free!

Highly higly highly recommended!
