The Best Times to Visit the Tower of London

Crowds are expected when you visit the Tower of London on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. If you do not want to jostle for space with too many people, the best time to visit is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You will be able to explore the Tower better if you visit mid-week. Summer is still the best season to see the sights in London but expect a lot of people too. Do not forget to grab a copy of the London attractions map so you know exactly where else to go.

Plan your Visit to the Tower of London

The Tower of London is one of England's most famous landmarks. It has performed several functions for hundreds of years, it has been a prison, an execution site, and a vault for priceless jewels. No wonder it is visited by millions of people annually. Here are some insightful tips to make your visit a breeze.

  • Are skip-the-line tickets worth it?
  • Being a major attraction, queues are expected at the Tower of London, so it makes sense to purchase skip-the-line tickets in advance so that you won't have to waste time standing in line and waiting for your turn. You can just get past everyone and start exploring the place at your own pace.

  • Explore the Tower of London with guided tours?
  • Guided tours are the best way to go if you want to fully experience the Tower of London. There is so much to know and discover about the place that an expert in its history will be of great assistance to any visitor.

  • Tips for Visiting the Tower of London
  • Although the tower might look small, do not be deceived. Its massive size means you will be doing a lot of walking when you visit, so make sure that you wear comfortable shoes. It also makes sense to visit midweek so that you do not have to jostle for space with the crowd.

Is the Tower of London Accessible?

Compared to other major tourist spots in London, the Tower of London has more accessibility challenges because of the cobblestones and various buildings that can only be accessed by steps. Fortunately, there is a step-free access at the southwest corner of the building.

All buildings have steps except for the one with the crown jewels. The courtyard is mainly covered in cobblestones but some of the cobblestones can be avoided by getting up a curb to the sidewalk.
