The Tower of London


     The Tower  of London is not exactly a tower today. It is a group of towers and other buildings surrounded by  great wall. You will want to visit. Get there before it opens and you can go right in and go directly to the Crown Jewels, otherwise the lines can be long. There is lots to see and people to meet including the Warder and the Beefeaters.  But, there are also smaller more intimate spots to see some interesting views.  The sight of the Tower Bridge from the wall is a super photo-op. But, the bottom shot is of a small courtyard near the Queen's meeting rooms as seen from the inside looking out.  This is a visit, if you are a history buff, that I would give at least four hours.  There is an okay cafe there for lunch, as well.
