Once we got in the tower we stood in the once moat and waited for the tour by the beefeater. He took us around the tower and into the center where he described the history of London and the tour and how they tortured traitors of the kingdom. This information was very interesting and entertaining but our group was so big that we ended up in the back and wasn’t able to hear our tour guide. After coming to a decision, we broke off from the group and went to see the Crown Jewels! This was by far my favorite part. We waited in line for about 20 minutes, and it was definitely worth it. We saw many crowns and a ton of gold items used for coronations and weddings. I had never seen jewels as big as the ones in the tower, and I believe they live up to their name. The Crown Jewels are definitely a must see on a trip to London. After the jewels, we went to other parts of the tower and saw knight armor and torture devices that were very interesting and worth seeing.
Overall I had a great time at the Tower of London! ~Lauren
