Since the reign of Henry VIII visitors have come to the White Tower , the central keep of the Tower of London, to admire the weapons and armour displayed here by the Royal Armouries.
Use the river cruise to come here so you can see The Traitor's Gate which is where traitors of old entered by boat
The first recorded paying visitor to the Armouries was in 1545 when a visiting foreign dignitary viewed the personal armoury of Henry VIII in the White Tower .

Arte em forma de armas e armaduras. Pena que o vidro que protege dificulta muito tirar fotos devido ao reflexo.
