The most beautiful place in London! A perfect blend of history and modernity 😍 Past, present, and future come together in one unforgettable experience. Our visit lasted about 5 hours — there’s so much to see and explore! We had lunch at the self-service bar inside the Tower. Prices were quite high but it was comfortable.

I had no idea of everything that was in the Tower. We would have allotted much more time. Fanscinating. The Yeoman, AJ, was an outstanding guide - mixing humor with the history. You should allot 3 hours for the tour!

It was obvious from minute one that the most entertaining part of the experience of the Tower of London was going to be the Yeoman who led the tour. He knew his stuff and educated as well as made us laugh.

The tickets were easy to buy, download and use. Great experience. The Tower itself was extra crowded due to VE Day celebrations. We paid for the headphones which are definitely NOT worth it. The headphones are not user friendly and do not improve the experience.

Absolutely loved the Toer of London. Fantastic place to visit, we visited on a bank holiday weekend and as you can imagine it was busy but the queue flowed very quickly. Lots to see and do, coffee shop, gift shop. Audio tours. An excellent attraction with the Crown Jewels to top it off.

Easy scanning of the tickets on the cell phone, smooth processing. You can stay on the grounds as long as you like The only drawback is that nothing depends on the time slot you have booked, you queue as normal and there is a huge queue at the Crown Jewels.

Purchasing tickets was easy. The tower was beautiful. Exhibits were informational. There were a lot of people! So many people that sometimes it was hard to move freely and see exhibits. My only real complaint is that there were so many people, that the wait to see the Crown Jewels was at least an hour. Unfortunately, we were unable to see them , which was the one thing I was most excited about seeing. I was disappointed about that. Overall, a good experience.

Using Headout was incredibly easy. The Tower of London was wonderful. We loved all the history. The Crown Jewels are, of course, exquisite. However, be prepared for a line outside and load of people indoors crowding to see the jewels. Tower Bridge was incredible. We were fortunate enough to see the bridge raise from the glass bottom floor. The Cat activity for kids was a hit and my daughter really enjoyed it.

As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea. We had planned 2 hours for the Tower with two children (aged 7 and 10), which was adequate. We spent the whole afternoon at the Tower. Especially in Tower Bridge, the tour through the museum and the engine room is very entertaining for the children with an accompanying activity.

The tickets were easy to purchase, we chose a dual ticket option with a reduction for seniors. At both places, the staff was very flexible allowing us to enter early. 2 to 3 hours in the Tower is required as there is so much to see. The audio guide is very worthwhile, Beefeater guide attracts large number. Our trip to Tower Bridge was fascinating, worth visiting the engine room, very interesting.

The experience was good. At the London Eye we didn't queue at all, we just got there and went up. It is true that we were a little disappointed. The ride doesn't last long for the price it costs and we didn't like the pictures they took of us. I don't see the point of having a montage taken when you are actually on the attraction. At Tower Bridge there was a queue, but the access was quite fast. It is a curious visit, although not essential. The glass walkway area was crowded.

The name of our tour guide company wasn't on the ticket. Having a guide outside the venue talking to us was a waste of time. Half of what he said was covered by the Beefeater. Who, by the way, was a much better speaker and presenter. We expected to enter the venue earlier than the general public, and be met by a Beefeater. We felt completely ripped off with what we paid.

Guide was great. Met at the assigned location with another family and then received a text from the tour handled(not guide) asking where we were. They eventually told us they were on the opposite side of the gift shop, not the location pictured in the app. Needless added stress and confusion that put my wife in a foul mood. I'll reiterate, the guide was knowledgeable and courteous. It was the communication through the company that was lacking

A Royal Day to Remember! Our visit to London wouldn’t have been complete without experiencing the majesty of both the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, and each lived up to its iconic status in the most unforgettable way. The Tower of London tour was an absolute highlight—steeped in history, drama, and intrigue. From the moment we stepped inside the ancient fortress, we were transported back in time. The Beefeater guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and witty, bringing centuries of royal history and tales of imprisonment, betrayal, and triumph to life. Seeing the Crown Jewels in person was awe-inspiring—photos don’t do them justice. Walking the old stone walls and standing on the very ground where history unfolded gave us chills. After that, we made our way to Buckingham Palace, and the contrast between the two royal landmarks was a beautiful complement. Where the Tower is historic and rugged, Buckingham Palace is elegant and majestic. Touring the State Rooms, we were struck by their opulence and artistry—everything from the chandeliers to the furniture to the artwork was breathtaking. It was like walking through a living museum of British royal heritage. The Changing of the Guard ceremony added that extra dose of pomp and pageantry, and it truly felt like being part of a centuries-old tradition. Whether you're a history lover or just looking to be inspired by beauty and legacy, these tours are an absolute must. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the British monarchy and an unforgettable sense of connection to the past. Highly recommend making both a priority when visiting London—together, they offer the perfect blend of grit, grandeur, and glory!

The tour itself and the tour provider were excellent. However, it was not what was advertised. My tour took place on a Monday. According to the tour guide, there was never a Change of Guard on a Monday to observe, however, this was a key part of the tour title and even in reading the small print it said that it did take place on a Monday. Advertising a 'Tower of London Guided Tour', which is in the title and in the small print, is false advertising. We were escorted to the opening ceremony, which was incredible, and then given 50 minutes to look round the tower. Anyone who knows the tower will know this is not enough time, and there was no guide to take us around. Since, for us, the Tower visit was the primary aspect of the tour, this was incredibly disappointing and not explained in the small print. Finally, I wrote to Headout 7 days ago detaling my complaint, and have not heard anything back. I would caution anyone against booking with them in the future.

As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea.

I'm not just writing a positive review here, but a general one. The boat was easy to find, but it certainly wasn't a 40 minute round trip and we had to get off at a station which we didn't want to do. Then we went on the way home (London Eye Pier) and one stop before that the boat was probably broken and everyone had to get off. At this stop, the guests who were already on board were only told that we should get a new ticket (there was a meter-long queue), although we had a ticket and we got it in advance to avoid these queues. We then went downstairs and nobody said anything. In the end we took the Undergroud back to the London eye because we were already 20 minutes over our timeslot. Luckily we got into the London eye and didn't have to queue, but we were really unlucky with the group inside the eye because they were children who couldn't behave at all and kicked the windows etc. However, this had nothing to do with the ticket from Handout. As a tip, if you book it, allow at least 3 hours between the boat and the eye in case something comes up. It was still nice and you got a perfect impression of London on the first day.

Good price and timing for the combo package. We liked the offer of free cancellation 24h before the event in case of bad weather. Lucky for was it was not the case. The 10:00 boat was very nice as we had live presentation of the main sites along the Thames river. However we didn't realize at the moment of the booking, that the boat cruise was actually a one way cruise. It started at London Eye and ended at the Tower bridge. So we had to run back to London Eye for our next appointment at 11:15. Obviously we missed the appointment and the line grew considerably till we entered the London Eye. But , at the end the weather was gorgeous so we were happy.

I was at the hotel and I don't have a printer and I didn't know. I didn't think it was good because it can happen that there are customers who don't have internet. I find better that Headout send the emails with the reservation also to the cathedral. I had to stay on the site and the email took time to arrive. Otherwise everything was fine.

Let me start by saying the Tower of London was brilliant if we had just done that tge experience would have got top marks. But the hop on hop off with Toot was bloody awful and I actually want my money back. The whole point of a tour bus is to learn about the area but their audio mussed so much out and was more interested in telling us pointless stiries about a couple kssing under a bridge, about a guy going to the Imax to see a movue about the artic circle. I couldnt care less about these stories.

As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea. We had planned 2 hours for the Tower with two children (aged 7 and 10), which was adequate. We spent the whole afternoon at the Tower. Especially in Tower Bridge, the tour through the museum and the engine room is very entertaining for the children with an accompanying activity.

We first visited the Tower with the Crown Jewels. We saw everything in 4 hours and it was a great experience. The highlight was then the London Eye. We treated ourselves to Fast Track and that was really great as we could walk through to the gondola without having to wait. A great day.

HoponHopoff, it was very nice. We didn't just do one route because you see something different on each one from the bus. You drive right past the sights. The theme boat trip was also wonderful. Tower, you need some time here, we were there for 3 hours and didn't manage to see everything.

The tickets were easy to purchase, we chose a dual ticket option with a reduction for seniors. At both places, the staff was very flexible allowing us to enter early. 2 to 3 hours in the Tower is required as there is so much to see. The audio guide is very worthwhile, Beefeater guide attracts large number. Our trip to Tower Bridge was fascinating, worth visiting the engine room, very interesting.

It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.

The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.

A Royal Day to Remember! Our visit to London wouldn’t have been complete without experiencing the majesty of both the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, and each lived up to its iconic status in the most unforgettable way. The Tower of London tour was an absolute highlight—steeped in history, drama, and intrigue. From the moment we stepped inside the ancient fortress, we were transported back in time. The Beefeater guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and witty, bringing centuries of royal history and tales of imprisonment, betrayal, and triumph to life. Seeing the Crown Jewels in person was awe-inspiring—photos don’t do them justice. Walking the old stone walls and standing on the very ground where history unfolded gave us chills. After that, we made our way to Buckingham Palace, and the contrast between the two royal landmarks was a beautiful complement. Where the Tower is historic and rugged, Buckingham Palace is elegant and majestic. Touring the State Rooms, we were struck by their opulence and artistry—everything from the chandeliers to the furniture to the artwork was breathtaking. It was like walking through a living museum of British royal heritage. The Changing of the Guard ceremony added that extra dose of pomp and pageantry, and it truly felt like being part of a centuries-old tradition. Whether you're a history lover or just looking to be inspired by beauty and legacy, these tours are an absolute must. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the British monarchy and an unforgettable sense of connection to the past. Highly recommend making both a priority when visiting London—together, they offer the perfect blend of grit, grandeur, and glory!

The most beautiful place in London! A perfect blend of history and modernity 😍 Past, present, and future come together in one unforgettable experience. Our visit lasted about 5 hours — there’s so much to see and explore! We had lunch at the self-service bar inside the Tower. Prices were quite high but it was comfortable.

Top things to do in London

The Crown Jewels at the Tower of London offer a dazzling glimpse into British royal history. Featuring crowns, swords, and scepters still used in royal ceremonies today. It’s like walking into a real-life treasure chest! Visit and get up close to the history and splendor behind Britain’s royal traditions.

Where are they located?

The British Crown Jewels are located in the Jewel House at the Tower of London, next to the St. Peter Ad Vincula Royal Chapel and the Fusilier Museum. You can see them under armed guard as part of your visit to the Tower.

How to access the Crown Jewels?

Access to the Crown Jewels is included with all ​Tower of London tickets.

Why visit the Jewel House

  • Centuries of history: The collection’s most ancient surviving artefact is the Coronation Spoon, used for anointing since the 12th century.
  • Culturally significant: Many of the items are still used in royal ceremonies—linking past and present monarchies. 
  • Over 140 royal regalia: There are over 140 items in the collection, including crowns, sceptres, orbs, swords, maces, altar and banqueting plates, objects dating from medieval to modern times. 
  • 23,000+ gemstones: The collection includes pieces set with 23,578 gemstones, including Cullinan I and II, Koh-i-Noor, Black Prince's Ruby, Stuart Sapphire, and St Edward's Sapphire​​. 
  • They're basically priceless: Experts estimate the collection's minimum value at around $4 billion, though cultural significance makes them effectively priceless!
  • One of London’s top draws: The Jewel House exhibits attract around 2.5 million visitors each year. 
  • Home to the Crown Jewels since 1661: Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1661, the newly-made coronation regalia for Charles II has been on public view in the Tower’s Jewel House.

Things to know before booking Crown Jewels tickets

  • Access to the Crown Jewels is included in all Tower of London tickets. You do not need to buy separate tickets to see them.
  • It is advised to book your tickets at least a month in advance to view the Crown Jewels on your preferred dates, especially during the peak season.
  • The Jewel House, which houses the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, has level access. There is a moving walkway alongside the Crown Jewels display. At the end of the moving walkway, there is a platform lift that provides access to a raised platform for extended viewing. However, this lift is not suitable for mobility scooters.
  • As a working collection, some jewels, such as the Imperial State Crown or the Sovereign's Sceptre, may be temporarily removed from display when they are required for royal ceremonies like coronations or the State Opening of Parliament. Also, individual pieces might be taken off display for essential conservation work or cleaning.

Highlights of the Crown Jewels

Tower of London Crown Jewels

St Edward's Crown (1661)

This solid-gold coronation crown was made in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II to replace the medieval crown (said to have belonged to King Edward the Confessor) that had been melted down. It weighs 2.23 kg and is adorned with 444 semi-precious stones. It is used only for the actual crowning moment (then replaced by a lighter state crown) and was last used for crowning Charles III in 2023.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Imperial State Crown (1937)

Created for King George VI's coronation in 1937, this is the crown that the monarch wears on State occasions like the annual Opening of Parliament. It was made to replace the crown made for Queen Victoria in 1838 and is set with over 3,000 stones, including the Black Prince's Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Cullinan II diamond.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross

During the coronation the monarch is presented with the Orb and the Sceptre with Cross, which represent their powers and responsibilities. While it dates back to 1661, the sceptre was modified in 1910 for George V with the addition of the Cullinan I diamond. It's the largest colourless cut diamond in the world, at 530.2 carats.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Sovereign’s Orb

The Orb is also presented to the monarch at the coronation and symbolizes Christian dominion. This solid gold globe was also made in 1661 and is topped with a cross. It's set with over 650 diamonds and four large pearls once owned by Elizabeth I.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

Queen Mary’s Crown (1911)

Queen Mary’s Crown is a consort crown within the Crown Jewels. Made for the coronation of Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, this Art Deco-inspired crown features eight half-arches instead of the typical four or two. The silver-gilt frame is set with approximately 2,200 diamonds, including Cullinan III, Cullinan IV, and the Koh-i-Noor diamond, though all were later removed.

The Coronation Spoon

The Coronation Spoon

The Coronation Spoon is the oldest artifact in the collection, dating back to the 12th century. It is used to anoint the new monarch with holy oil during the coronation ceremony, cementing the spiritual legitimacy of their rule. Unlike much of the royal regalia that was destroyed by Parliament, the Coronation Spoon survived because it was privately held.

Sovereign's Ring (1831)

Sovereign's Ring (1831)

The Sovereign's Ring was specifically crafted for the coronation of King William IV in 1831. It features a prominent octagonal sapphire as its centerpiece and the Cross of Saint George in rubies, and 14 surrounding diamonds. During coronations, the Archbishop places it on the fourth finger of the sovereign's right hand during the investiture.

History of the Crown Jewels

The British Crown Jewels are a collection steeped in over a millennium of history. For centuries, these symbols of monarchy were primarily seen during grand coronations and significant state ceremonies.

The Tower itself has played a crucial role in safeguarding these treasures. Following the English Civil War, when the original regalia was largely melted down and sold, the newly fashioned Crown Jewels, including St Edward's Crown (commissioned for Charles II's coronation in 1661) and the Sovereign's Orb, were placed within the Tower's walls for safekeeping. This was proved necessary, as demonstrated by the theft attempt by Colonel Thomas Blood in 1671 who nearly succeeded in stealing the jewels.

Over the centuries, the jewels were moved to various strongholds within the Tower. It wasn't until the 1990s that the Jewel House, as seen today, was opened to the public. Now, visitors can see the ancient 12th-century Coronation Spoon, the Cullinan diamonds incorporated into various pieces, and Queen Mary's Crown (used by Queen Camilla during her coronation).

Attempted theft of the Crown Jewels

In May 1671, Colonel Thomas Blood disguised himself as a clergyman and, with accomplices, attempted to steal the jewels displayed then in the Martin Tower. They overpowered the 77-year-old Keeper of the Jewels, Talbot Edwards. However, their plan was foiled when Edwards' son unexpectedly returned, and guards swiftly apprehended Blood and his remaining accomplices. King Charles II himself interrogated Blood and, surprisingly, pardoned him.

The Koh-i-Noor

The Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian, is one of the world's most controversial diamonds. Believed to have originated in the Kollur Mine in India, it passed through the hands of various rulers and dynasties including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal emperors, reportedly adorning Shah Jahan's Peacock Throne. In 1739, the Persian ruler Nadir Shah invaded Delhi and acquired the diamond, giving it its current name.

Following Nadir Shah's assassination, the Koh-i-Noor changed hands among Afghan rulers before reaching Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the early 19th century. After the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, the East India Company annexed Punjab, and the Koh-i-Noor was ceded to Queen Victoria. Since then, it has been part of the British Crown Jewels, set in the crowns of various queens. Ownership of the Koh-i-Noor remains a subject of historical and diplomatic dispute, with India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan all having laid claim to the diamond.

  • Jewel House Shop: Visit this shop located up the stairs opposite the exit of the Crown Jewels exhibition to see a range of jewellery, china and gifts inspired by the Crown Jewels.
  • You can also shop from these stores online.

Visitor tips

  • Head to the Jewel House first: Be among the first in line and walk directly to the Jewel House upon entry around 9am and avoid large crowds. Later in the day, the wait can exceed an hour—even with timed tickets.
  • Visit during just before closing time: If you can't arrive early, try visiting an hour before the Tower closes. The last hour sees a sharp drop in visitors, especially outside peak season. Just be sure you’re inside the Tower gates by last entry—they don’t let in latecomers.
  • Don’t miss the hidden conveyor: There’s a moving walkway in front of the display to keep visitors flowing but don’t miss the parallel walkway behind it. You can walk back around and rejoin the non-moving area at the rear for a much longer, stationary view of the jewels.
  • Look for the highlights: Don’t miss the Cullinan I diamond, the largest clear-cut diamond in the world, in the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross. You can spot a tiny replica of the original rough stone next to it. Other highlights are the Black Prince’s Ruby (actually a spinel) in the Imperial State Crown and the 800-year-old Coronation Spoon.
  • Book early-access tour: VIP early-access tours (before public opening) let you view the collection nearly alone.
  • Talk to a Warder: Yeoman Warders (or Beefeaters) stationed inside the Jewel House are highly knowledgeable and can answer specific questions. You can ask which crowns have been altered recently or which items were replicated for the coronation of King Charles III! They may also point out tiny alterations (like the removal of the Koh-i-Noor from Queen Mary's Crown for Charles's coronation).
