HM Tower of London, one of the most famous buildings in the world, was constructed following the Norman conquest in the 11th century to dominate London. The Royal Armouries is responsible for all the displays in the White Tower, the central keep of the castle complex, and for researching and recording the history of the Tower and the many institutions which have grown up there. They also reconstruct many of the historical displays of arms and armour for which the Tower is famous, including the Grand Storehouse which was destroyed by fire in 1841.
All internal buildings close thirty minutes after the last admission time.
If you are coming after 1 April 2002 please check the prices before you come. Tickets may be purchased at the Tower or in advance from any London Underground station .
