Tower of London
by some of the borough's Gifted and Talented pupils

Welcome to the tower The White Tower

When I first saw the Tower of London it was huge and extremely old looking. There was a big crowd of people speaking different languages. It was exciting when you went inside because the castle was build centuries ago.

Who can visit the Tower of London?
The Tower of London would be suitable for anyone because it has multilingual access and disabled access to some parts only. Some children would like to go because it is very educational and decorative.

 


Being prepared

The Tower of London has many things to see and do but there is quite a lot of walking involved so be prepared to know what you want to do and make sure you have enough time.

To help you decide what you want to see here’s a list for you
· The crown jewels
· The medieval palace
· The wall walk
· The white tower
· The tower green
· The western entrance
· The water lane and many more

 

What to do;
· Going through walkthroughs
· Shops
· Touring around
· Visit the White Tower because it was the first tower there to be built
· See the ravens and find out about their legend and many more

Things to look out for
· The talking raven

Things to improve!!!
