It was very full as far as the Tower of London was concerned. I had booked for 17:45 at london eye and we were only able to queue from that time and not before... (perhaps it would be better to inform us at the time of booking, which asks us to be there 15 minutes before the time indicated...). Despite this, our experience was incredible! 😍

I'm awed at the age of the complex, and how well-kept it was. Everything was well laid out, with good, informative signage. I enjoyed the short (40 min) Beefeater presentation. It was not crowded the day I went...a big plus. It was cold however, and many of the buildings were cold inside.

Amazing place, easy to navigate without a guide. The history is there to see in every wall and it's incredible to walk through the halls and learn what happened in each one of them. Despite the cold weather we had a great time. 100% recommend

No access without prior booking 🤷🏻 The Tower is so impressive in itself that you don't really need to see the crown jewels.
