Royal history on the bank of the Thames

Standing tall on the north bank of the River Thames is the Tower of London. It is a historic Castle placed within two circular rings of defensive walls and a moat. Officially called Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress, the Castle was founded in the 1070s by William the Conqueror. The site derives its name from the Tower’s oldest structure – the White Tower.

While you tour the twelve-acre UNESCO World Heritage Site, catch a glimpse of the legendary ravens. The Tower of London always houses six ravens for superstitious reasons.
