The Tower of London

     This is the White Tower at the Tower of London. This is a fascinating place with the Crown Jewels and the last time when we were there they had a display of Henry the Eighth's armor. On a previous trip we had seen so many things that we ran out of time to get to the Tower. A mistake. This last time we made sure to spend a whole day at the Tower. Here is a hint: get there at 10 am for opening. Go immediately to the Crown Jewels and you will miss the long lines. Then work your way back to the front gate and by then the crowds will be less at those locations. Do spend time and have lunch in the cafe. Walk the ramparts. Visit the chapel. Look at the ravens. This is one of the great visits in London.
