A fabulous place that transports you back in time, a site steeped in history with impressive galleries. Inside and outside the castle there are beautiful places to take photos, and the crown jewels are also fabulous to admire. My husband gave me a ring for our 25th anniversary. Afterwards, walk across London Bridge, enjoying the views and the great structure of the bridge. Leave your fear behind and walk on the glass of the bridge... enjoy it to the fullest!

The visit was great, and we really appreciated having access first thing in the morning, as well as the chance to see the garden. Unfortunately, it was quite foggy, so we couldn’t see much of the city this time—but hopefully it will be clearer on our next visit. Thank you!
