White Tower Tours

Come and hear from one of our expert wardens.

Discover the oldest medieval building at the Tower of London, built by William the Conqueror over 900 years ago.

Take a closer look at the beautiful architecture of the Chapel of St John, hear how Simon Sudbury became the first man to 'lose his head' on Tower Hill and learn about some of the clever features of the White Tower that made it one of the most feared prisons in the kingdom.

Please be aware that due to the nature of some of the stories, the White Tower tours may not be suitable for very young children. Please ask your guide on the day for further advice.

Meet your guide in the Chapel of St John inside the White Tower.
