Frequently Asked Questions about Tower of London timings

Are there any special timings for the Crown Jewels?

Yes, the Crown Jewels are open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm, with the last admission at 4:45pm. Please note that the Crown Jewels may be closed on certain days for security reasons.

Are there specific days that are less busy at the Tower of London?

Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be quieter. Avoid weekends and UK school holidays if you're not a fan of crowds. Early weekdays = stress-free sightseeing!

Does the Tower of London have different opening hours in summer and winter?

Yes! The Tower operates on a seasonal schedule. While the closing time stays at 5:30pm, summer hours (March to October) often start earlier (9am), while winter hours (November to February) start a little later (10am). Always double-check before booking.

What is the last admission time to the Tower of London?

The last admission to the Tower of London is at 3:30pm. However, the Crown Jewels close at 4:45pm. It is important to arrive at the Tower of London before the last admission time so that you have enough time to explore.

Are there special evening or night tours at the Tower of London?

Not typically. The Tower closes by 5:30pm, but occasional evening events or ticketed ceremonies—like the Ceremony of the Keys—offer rare nighttime access. These require separate booking and sell out fast!

What if I arrive earlier than my scheduled time slot?

Staff are usually flexible within a 15–30 min window. However, during peak seasons, they may ask you to wait until your time slot.

What if I miss my Tower of London entry time?

Missed your time slot? Staff may still accommodate you later that day, depending on capacity. But it's not guaranteed, especially on busy days. It’s always safer to arrive 10–15 mins early.

Is there a time limit on my visit to the Tower of London?

Nope! Once you're inside, you can stay as long as you like until closing time. Take your time soaking up the centuries of royal history!

Can I re-enter the Tower of London if I leave?

Re-entry isn’t typically allowed once you exit. So make sure to explore everything before stepping out—grab that coffee inside!

Is the Tower of London ever closed unexpectedly?

It’s rare—but in cases of royal events, maintenance, or security protocols, certain areas might close temporarily. Check the official page or your ticket provider before visiting.

Should I buy Tower of London tickets in advance?

Yes, the Tower of London is a popular attraction in the city. It is recommended to book your tickets online well in advance. This is advisable if you are visiting during the peak season, as tickets can sell out.
