The Crown Jewels and the White Tower. Jewels first. Not also the Abbey. Next is Tower Bridge — do not also stack Hampton Court the same day.
Analysis
Tower of London is not a facade you glance at. About 09:00 or 10:00 until 16:30 or 17:30, by season. The quiet hour is the first after opening. A service may close the nave. Leave via Tower Hill.

How to go
Tower Hill
Transit
Tap at Tower Hill. If a service closes Tower of London, do not leave the last train until after the service ends.
Season window
Christmas and Easter change the hours at Tower of London. In winter stay indoors. In summer the steps bake at noon — move to shade or a side aisle.
Tips
- · Tickets: High: adult tickets on the official site — do not freeze a guide number. Plan about 140 minutes.
- · The jewel queue is the long one
- · Keep voices down inside Tower of London. There are stone steps; wet soles slip. Bags come off the shoulder.
