The
Tower of London, is located in the
heart of the city. It has a long and legendary history interwoven
with
the fate of the British monarchy and royal family. Kings and
princes
have been imprisioned here. Murder and royal intrigue have taken
place
here. The castle and grounds are now frequented mainly by
visitors
from all over the world. Probably the main attraction is the
crown
jewels, which are on display here. My personal favorite is the
display
of arms and armor from medieval times. The castle and
grounds are
well maintained and offer a castle explorer a wonderful starting point
when they first arrive in the UK, assuming that you fly into London.
