Dating back to the 11th-century, the Tower of London is a complex of towers, turrets, walls, palace rooms, and fortifications.

Your tour begins Outer Ward, where you will learn all about the Beefeaters' fascinating history. Your walk will then head into the rooms of the old medieval palace we will see how kings and queens lived and died in the tower. Next, you'll walk along the battlements surrounding the complex learning about the legend of the ravens of the tower and its other unexpected animal inhabitants.

Then, you'll come down to the inner ward to see the burial place of 2 saints, 3 queens, and 1 rebellious nephew before exploring the incredible Crown Jewels. After that, you'll explore the heart of the tower complex, the White Tower, a royal palace that today holds a branch of the Royal Armories but whose basement rooms hold some shocking secrets.

Finally, you'll leave the Tower of London via the Bloody Tower for a little bit of dark history before returning to the 21st century.

  • My father was a Yeoman Warder. My parents last abode was Tower Green, right by the Bloody Tower (known internally as "the blood tub"), which my mother used to clean after closing. My children were baptised in the chapel of St.Peter ad Vincula. Thank you very much for this excellent video! 😍
  • @silverstuff182
    I'm stunned. Your video shows 100% more of the Tower than I was able to see in 1985. The jewels were not even there at that time, they had temporarily sent them away (?). But all the rooms of the monarchs were also not available, or if I walked through them they must have all looked the same, with no markers. You have done a wonderful job and NOW I have seen a lot of the Tower.
  • @Theturtleowl
    The Yeoman Warders are amazing. When I visited the Tower in 2015, two stood at the chapel and explained what the chapel was used as and who were buried underneath. At the end, they kindly reminded everyone that you had to mind your step when going outside. Should any woman fall, she was reminded that these men were strong and would gladly catch them. Should any man fall, he would be reminded that the ground was rather hard.

    I am a Londoner, born in St John's wood in 1929. I just love walking around London with you. As I am living in Sydney Australia, I do miss MY London, so a very Big Thank You.🙏🙏🇦🇺🦜🐨🦘
  • @tippysdaddy7468
    That was excellent, thank you. I am a wheelchair user, as such I would not be able to access, many of the areas which you covered, so without you I would have missed so much ❤
  • @sood9876
    Excellent tour, thank you. Having visited the Tower on three occasions, this is the most informative visit of all. It's really great when someone from a different country takes such an interest in British history.
  • @janisripple754
    I’ll not be able to travel however Your utube tube channel allows me the joy of seeing English History. Thank You ❤
  • This is the best tour of the Tower I’ve ever seen, thanks so much. I especially enjoyed the interiors, which no one ever shows.
  • @MsBornfree123
    This is the most lovely and charming tour of the Tower I've ever seen.
  • I just found this channel and I'm so excited. London is my number one place on my bucket list to visit, mainly because of the Tower of London. I've just felt drawn to it ever since I was a little girl. I'm an American, and I think our history is so boring. English history is my favorite by far.
  • @theroyals1153
    I could stay there all day long just looking the details all those ancient things, oh gosh so incredible. Hope I can visit the tower one day
  • OUTSTANDING !!!!! You did a wonderful, wonderful job. Thank you! 🇺🇸
  • You've got a wicked sense of humour. When talking about Tower Hill being the place where most executions took place, you said: beheading there in a minute! 🤣 37:20
  • @maeve4686
    Thanks so much. I'm a disabled EMT/FIREFIGHTER & bedridden. I spend a lot of time watching vids, touring the world and places I'd have loved to see. This is marvelous. I do have a suggestion. When you walked by several displays mentioning the items, you didn't take time to show them. Even just 3 seconds or so would be lovely to see things. The material used in the beds, weaponry, coins, helmets, etc. I'll check out other vids to see if I can find them. Keep up the great work & climbing... Look forward to seeing your other tours.
  • @ajjohns5964
    Really great video, thanks for your effort putting this together, allowing people like myself who have never visited, to be able to have an indepth and comprehensive tour.
  • @iamcoreilly
    Thank you so much. I visited a few years ago and you showed a couple of places that were closed at the time, and missed only one place I can think of. I didn't pay that much attention to all the history trying to see it all but your narration filled in the blanks. Excellent tour!
  • @kayt9576
    These walking tours online, are great. I really appreciate watching them. I am wheelchair disabled in US. Love to see some from Italy and Austria/ Germany. Sandrigham Home of Kings & Queens, also. Haven't seen any online.
  • @susanna2490
    This was the best virtual tour online I have ever seen. I visited London in the late 80's and would love to go back one day though its getting less and less possible. You brought back many wonderful memories . Thank you
