The Tower of London

We went to the Tower of London on Sunday and lucky enough that we had one free ticket because we traveled by train so we can get a 2 for 1 offer,Hurray! I don't think many people know about this offer. The admission fee to the Tower of London was £17 per adult but that doesn't stop people queuing to get tickets.There were long queues as usual, finally we got our tickets and we entered the gate, walked around the area then we queued up to get inside the building to see the crown jewels. It was a very very long queues and when the moment came we went on the escalator 5 times to see the crown jewels! I couldn't take my eyes of the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond, it is magnificent! I also liked the design of a small diamond crown of Queen Victoria, absolutely splendid! It was really worth it and I am honoured to be able to see the greatest collection of Crown jewels - The symbols of the British monarchy.




Afterward we went to the White Tower and walked around the area, I saw about 3 or 4ravens as well. Later on we visited the Tower Bridge exhibition because we also had a 2 for 1 offer ticket, then we walked to the other side of the River Thames before we caught a tube back to Euston.
