TOWER OF LONDON
Location: Tower Bridge
A great overview of history and a chance to look at the crown jewels (which are amazing - The poor Queen, that crown must be particularly heavy on her head!) The queue can get quite long for the crown jewels, so it is probably best to have a look at these first then explore the other bits. There is a lot to look at so if you are going with children it is a good idea to have a rough idea before you go which bits you would like to see most...at the top of the White Tower there are some hands-on armoury activities for children (Practising shooting arrows and holding a sword) and we also found the ravens interesting. There are a few cafes (a quite large one with inside seats and a good selection of hot and cold food) and a smaller one with outside seats that serves a range of hot dogs and some kiosks serving refreshments. These can get very busy, so bear that in mind if you have small hungry people to tend to!
Useful Information: There are 2 for 1 offers available if you have travelled to London by train: www.daysoutguide.co.uk/
