One of the most famous
buildings in the world, the Tower
of London houses the famous Crown
Jewels and was where some of Britain's most notorious
criminals were imprisoned before facing the hangman.
The Tower of London
was constructed in the 11th century and is guarded by the
magnificent Beefeaters, clad as they were in Tudor times.
See the infamous Bloody
Tower where the Princes were murdered
and Beauchamp Tower
where visitors can read carved inscriptions of past
prisoners not forgetting Traitors Gate where those found
guilty had their heads impaled during Britain's gory past.
The Crown Jewels are under\constant armed guard. They are
the greatest working collection of Crown Jewels in the world
and priceless symbols of British monarchy - if the Queen is
wearing a piece you will see an "in use" sign. The
collection houses the world’s most famous diamonds including
the enormous Cullinan I and the notorious Koh-i-Noor. In
total the collection numbers 23,578 in total.
