Exploring the Tower of London The Tower of London, built almost a thousand years ago by William the Conqueror, served as a castle, fortress, and prison. It is surrounded by battlements and has an interesting history with spooky legends about Ravens. The zoo at the tower housed exotic animals for 600 years.
Guarding and Protecting the Tower The Yeoman Warders guard visitors at the tower while Palace guards protect crown jewels worth billions of pounds. Inside The White Tower are suits of armor including Henry VIII's wedding armor which he never wore due to its weight.
