Royal Armouries in White Tower

@ct_photography_leeds (Instagram) I had a great time here whilst visiting the tower of London. It's somewhere where I always wanted to visit. It's full of history from over the many years All the staff were nearby to help answer any questions you may have. Well worth the look in. It's a lot better than the one in Leeds where I live. Overall I'll give it a 5*

The castle was very small, but very crowded. It didn't really have any historic things relating to the castle, it had random things even things from the present like a p90. It's like they just throw things in.

The White Tower was built by William the Conqueror and it was the strongest point militarily of the castle but it also provided accommodation for the king and his court. Before you reach the main entrance you can see a door showing the place where the skeletons of two young guys were found. They are believed to belong to the two princes murdered by Richard III although is not clear. Inside you can see one of the best Norman chapels in the country. You can see also the chair used for the last execution in the Tower and other interesting exhibits.

Old, impressive and white! The White Tower is the oldest part of the Tower of London. With the construction of this keep in 1075-79 by William the Conqueror, the long and impressive history of the Tower of London begins. The many renovations that follow resulted in the largest keep, 35m x 32m x 27m (l x w x h), in the Christian world. The white color of the keep originates from the Kentish rag-stone and the Caen stone. As usual with Norman keeps, the entrance is well above the ground. The large rooms in the keep are now used as exhibition space. One of the later additions is the Romanesque St. John Chapel. Even without the magnificent collections on display here, the White Tower is a most impressive building!

After walking round the grounds we went into the White Tower, the original Norman keep, to see the arms and armour display. This had changed hugely since our last visit many years ago and we spent well over an hour working our way through each floor. The exhibitions were excellent with a good mix of display and interactive areas and everything was well explained and labelled.

One of the most decorated parts of tower of London. It is an artillery museum keeping on display old armour and weapons. What makes this place beautiful and worth your time is it's architecture. It an old old but well preserved and quaint. You would love sitting here and imagine how beautiful it would have been in its time.

In my opinion, after the crown jewels, the royal armouries was the highlight of the whole Tower of London experience Various displays that included full sized brass horses and horsemen.

The Original Tower, this beauty is full of history and weaponry. Lots of stairs to climb but well worth it. Terrific displays and good views.
