The Tower of London was built to protect and control the city in 1078.. Since then it has been used as a fortress, a palace, and a prison. It is also where the crown jewels are kept and have been kept since 1303. The Bloody Tower kept many famous prisoners. It's also referred to as "Her majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress."
I traveled there-- located on the north bank of the Thames River right in the central part of the city.. with flatmate Dana, where we explored and learned the history of the Tower..
