Tower of London and Crown Jewels Exhibition Ticket

1.Tower of London and Crown Jewels Exhibition Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,677 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Make your own way to the Tower of London for a full-day admission ticket covering the White Tower, Medieval Palace, ravens, Royal Armories, and Crown Jewels. A Yeoman Warder tour is included, usually beginning every 30 minutes at the moat. Plan several hours, since the site is much larger than the Crown Jewels display alone.

“Would highly recommend booking this via Viator. It was cheaper than booking direct with the Tower of London. Our admission time was 10am and we did the 10.45 Yeomans tour which was a fabulous 45mins walk around and history overview. The tower offer an audio guide for an extra cost but we didn’t feel like we needed it. We allowed 2-3 hours for this which was about right with our 8 year old.”

“What an amazing experience to be able to see a wonderful stadium and lots of history. The only thing I didn’t care for was that the field was being worked on while we were there. The machines were loud. It made it a little hard to hear the tour guide. The field was in rough condition too. It is very affordable and even the gift shop prices are affordable. I would highly recommend it”

If you have small children there is a lot of areas of play and interaction with the exhibits. If you don’t have children try to avoid weekends and school holidays 😂 Well worth a visit.”
