Tower of London

This afternoon we visited what will likely be our last "old thing"on this trip, the Tower of London. The area has been the fortified heart of London since Roman times, but things really stepped up here in 1066 when William the Conqueror decided to show the Anglo Saxon Londoners that he was not to be messed with and so he built the White Tower which still stands in the centre of this site.

It was an interesting visit, we got to see many suits of armor, ran into a beefeater or two, and saw the Crown Jewels.
A good way to finish off our tour of historical monuments.Read more
