The Tower of London cost 13 pounds 50 each adult, but is good value for money. We spent a good two hours inside, and an extra 1 hour on top of that. Admittedly, the last hour did become a little boring but it is hard to leave without seeing everything, afterall you probably wont visit it again. |
|  | A guided tour with a member of the ER is a must. The tour guides are hilarious and have many interesting stories to share. Without the information much of the sights would lose a lit of their appeal. The ER are highly ranked Sergeant Majors of the Army and RAF and live on site in the grounds of the Tower of London. |
Tower of London The Tower Bridge is only a 5 minute walk from the castle and worth a look if you have the time.
If you turn left from the tower bridge, 10 minutes away is Brick Lane, a street well known for its Indian Cuisine. The owners are prepared to offer discounts of upto 30% and free round of drinks to try and get your custom. The food we had was sensational and the bill was reasonable. Well worth a look if you like Indian food. Although, the area is a little dodgy before 6, after that more diners are about and you feel much safer. |  | |
