The history of the Tower of London is as a royal palace and prison. There are areas of the site which may be distressing for some visitors. Clear signage will be placed to inform you of which rooms contain graphic information or artefacts.
Our staff will answer your questions around the more graphic history of the Tower on a 1-1 basis but will not announce graphic details aloud in a tour group setting. Staff will be stationed at the entrance to more graphic areas of the site to pre-warn visitors of the contents of the rooms.
