Enjoy a fun, family-friendly programme, full of chaos and silliness this summer.
It's 1826 and the Duke of Wellington has just been made Constable of the Tower - a place that resembles more of an untamed, ramshackle town than the busy site we know today.
He’s been tasked with bringing some order to the Tower, whether folks like it or not! He’s got big plans, including shutting down the Royal Menagerie and the many taverns operating onsite. He might even drain the smelly old moat!
As word of the new Constable’s arrival makes its way around the Tower community, an impending sense of doom starts to set in. What will become of their chaotic yet beloved home and what about their livelihoods?
One thing’s for sure - change is afoot and not everyone’s happy about it.

Explore some of the more eclectic characters connected to the Tower’s history and early 19th century London. Costumed performances will take place throughout the day at various times and locations around the Tower.
