Closed locked and no notice ... wasted walk
I loved this place. It is very small, but that is what reveals how things were when the tower was built. The pencil sketch in the guide book is so revealing about how dominant the church was and why the monasteries were dissolved. A very interesting historical visit.
I loved this stop. It was great. So much history. When looking for attractions around London this wasn't listed every like the other places right next to it. The man at the register was great. He has so much knowledge for history. He was part of the reason this was such a wonderful stop for me.
Very under appreciated piece of history!! Nice example of medieval architecture, inside you'll fine history of the area and ancient castle that used to stand here. Nice example of carvings an ancient Saxon Sword and a number of replica manuscripts showing examples of the importance of the tower prior to construction of the House of Parliament.
Tucked away, sitting quietly amidst the magnificent structures in Westminster, this tower gives an insight on the history of this tower. It was surrounded by a moat back in the day but it's an empty canal now. The entrance is inconspicuous and I visited on a hot summer weekday afternoon. I didn't see anyone in here and I covered the two floors alone taking in the history. It displays information on weights and measures, documents maintained by clerks here, few pottery items excavated around this area (including the moat), plates and cups and also a model of Westminster as it was in 1400 AD compared to how it is today. It's a quick stop if you are visiting this area and can be covered in 30 minutes tops.
