The Tower of London #TakePart2012

I finally got to go to The Tower of London! When I went 3 years ago, it was closed by the time I arrived, so I made sure to put it on my to-do list this time. It's quite a huge place, with many sections and towers to explore. The Beefeaters also give you a short tour and entertain you with stories from the past. I only joined halfway through, but it was very informative. I had to rush through the grounds (again) so didn't get to see as much as I would have liked, but I definitely recommend going there! There were actors in-role around the Tower of London, which was fun to watch. The Crown Jewels are also housed here, but photography was not allowed. They're really pretty though, and jewel-laden!

Animals kept on the ground to protect the tower!

The Tower of London is right next to Towers Bridge.
