“Step back into time”

The good, the bad, the brutal.

Who says that going back to the past is not possible? In the Tower of London, it’s certainly possible.

The Tower of London encompasses more than 1,000 years of British history.

We went to the various displays, King’s Medieval bedroom, prisoner chamber, Medieval Tower, White Tower, Armoury, Sceptres, and Orbs each exhibit is interesting and provides a lot of information.

Of course, the crown jewels are stunning. A large number of steps, narrow pathways and numerous doors made our tour more mysterious.

The building and artefacts are immaculately maintained.

We were fascinated by the many treasures that the Tower of London houses and all the legends and stories of this castle which played a prominent role in English history.

Anyway, I feel lucky that I survived and was not executed by the royal executioner and I also hope that the ghost of Anne Boleyn will not haunt me😀

Thanks, JRS.


Thank you to Abdul for sharing his reflections with us!
