About Tower of London

Standard entry prices include a voluntary 10% donation to Historic Royal Palaces. Children under 5 enter completely free.

When finalizing your itinerary of the top London attractions, a visit to His Majesty's 900-year-old royal palace and fortress is absolutely essential. The Tower of London offers a blood-soaked journey through British history. From marveling at the dazzling Crown Jewels to joining a free tour led by the legendary Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), and exploring the infamous execution site on Tower Green, discovering this UNESCO World Heritage site is undeniably one of the most fascinating things to do in London. However, showing up at Tower Hill without a ticket is a massive mistake. Walk-up gate prices are more expensive than digital rates, and because this is one of the city's most visited historic sites, time slots frequently sell out—leaving spontaneous visitors waiting hours in the ticket queue. To bypass the massive lines and secure the cheapest tickets, you must book online in advance. Plus, there is no need to scour the web for a promo code; our verified partner link automatically applies the best discount and fast-track entry offers directly to your cart at checkout. **Click below to book your Tower of London tickets online in advance and secure the cheapest entry today.**

Insider Tips

  • check_circleGo to the Crown Jewels FIRST: The moment the gates open, ignore everything else and walk straight to the Waterloo Block. The queue for the Crown Jewels can swell to 2 hours by midday.
  • check_circleThe tours are totally free: You do not need to pay extra or book in advance for a Yeoman Warder (Beefeater) tour. They depart every 30 minutes from the moat near the main entrance.
  • check_circleLook for the execution spot: Not everyone was executed on Tower Hill. Look for the glass memorial on Tower Green inside the walls—this is where high-status prisoners like Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were quietly beheaded.

Can I buy tickets on the day / at the gate? expand_more

While there is a ticket office located at the Tower Hill entrance, we strongly advise against buying tickets on the day. Walk-up gate prices are more expensive than advance digital rates. Furthermore, because it is one of the most popular castles in the world, prime time slots frequently sell out during weekends and school holidays. Always book online in advance to guarantee your entry and lock in the lowest price.

You should allow a minimum of 3 hours to see the Tower of London. This gives you enough time to take the 45-minute Yeoman Warder tour, view the Crown Jewels, and explore the White Tower.

Are the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London real? expand_more

Yes. The Crown Jewels on display are the authentic, working collection of royal regalia still used by the King in state ceremonies like the State Opening of Parliament.
