Tower of London
The Tower of London offers yet another fascinating look at the role England has played throughout history. It served as a castle during wartime as well as a monarch’s residence in times of peace. It’s been a prison and was the site of a number of rather horrific events, which is why it also has a notorious haunted history.
Visitors can choose from a range of tours for the chance to see the crown jewels, the world’s largest flawless cut diamond, and the very executioner’s block that beheaded a number of of Henry VIII’s wives and multiple problematic heirs to the throne.
