Must see for everyone who visist london. Do the crown jewels before visiting the rest of the tower (long queues up to 30 min waiting time). Guided tours every 30 minutes with an original beafeater!

Andrew C

No pictures allowed... but definitely an incredible exhibit of former and current fancy metals used as crowns, cutlery, serving platters, etc for the royal family!!! (Pic is from outside the entry)

Stuart Woodward

Go see the Crown Jewels early, before the queue starts. Have lunch before 12 at the Cafe . The lamb and rice was excellent. Then, see the White Tower while everyone else is having lunch .

Carl Griffin

Incredible collection of jewels and crowns. The queues are very long but it is worth the wait.

AJ Schuster

There are diamonds , rubies, pearls and gold — There are many crowns and they’re mostly old — They get put on your head — And they stay till you’re dead — They’re the Crown Jewels after all

Karen

Stunning. When you're on the conveyor, go back around to see the jewels from both sides!

Michael Natale

Long lines . But the priceless items you view make up for it. Lines move quicker than expected. Well worth wait

PILAR PRENDES

Wow!! Never seen so many jewelry together in a place!!! A lot of history has this pieces lived! Impressive

Alan Porch

Be ready to wait. Once inside you've still got several rooms to go before you see anything glittering. It was awesome though. Wear super comfy shoes

Mark Loundy

It’s the Crown Jewels, for goodness sake. They have a diamond the size of an apricot .

Brendan Elliott

Stunning! Go in winter, not much of a crowd around then.

Athelia C

Go early and you’ll have time to read about the jewels and view them repeatedly, if you like.

A place worthwhile to visit when in London unfortunately no photo allowed to be taken inside

Royal blings! Not allowed to take photos

Markus Eklund

No photography

Mariana Filizola

Atração cara que vale cada centavo! Adoramos e recomendamos. NÃO VALE A PENA pegar o guia eletrônico com tradutor. Custa £4 e não é bem feito. A gente se atrapalha todo na utilização e não aproveita.

Ein Highlight im Tower of London. Die Warteschlange wirkt erst erschreckend, man kommt aber vergleichsweise schnell voran.

Ricardo Santos

Lá tem as jóias utilizadas pela família real desde 1300. É bem legal. É um conhecimento a mais

Iurii Panin

Круто ! Рекомендую! Даже я - скептик, который видал уже всякого в разных музеях по миру - и то был поражен! )

Denis Chapilin

Словами это не передать. Нужно посмотреть самим. Например, на самый большой в мире бриллиант в 530 карат.

Vicente Martinez

La cola es larga, en torno a una hora. La visita está bien.

Louise de Paus

De kroonjuwelen moet je zien als je in de Tower bent

Alejandra Palacios

OMG... en mi vida había visto tantos diamantes y oro... Ojala dejarán tomar fotos.
