Discover the Tower of London’s history as a fortress, palace and prison on this great-value break which also includes free time to explore London at your leisure. Founded in 1066 as a grand display against the Saxons, the Tower of London has become one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Still home to the Crown Jewels today, at one time the Tower was also host to the Royal Mint and has also housed a colourful selection of prisoners including the Princes in the Tower, multiple wives and associates of Henry VIII, the young Elizabeth I (prior to her coronation), Guy Fawkes, Samuel Pepys, Flora MacDonald, Rudolf Hess and even the Kray Twins.
