Tower of London Tour | A Virtual Walk through the Inside of the Tower

Dating back to the 11th-century, the Tower of London is a complex of towers, turrets, walls, palace rooms, and fortifications.

Your tour begins Outer Ward, where you will learn all about the Beefeaters' fascinating history. Your walk will then head into the rooms of the old medieval palace we will see how kings and queens lived and died in the tower. Next, you'll walk along the battlements surrounding the complex learning about the legend of the ravens of the tower and its other unexpected animal inhabitants.

Then, you'll come down to the inner ward to see the burial place of 2 saints, 3 queens, and 1 rebellious nephew before exploring the incredible Crown Jewels. After that, you'll explore the heart of the tower complex, the White Tower, a royal palace that today holds a branch of the Royal Armories but whose basement rooms hold some shocking secrets.

Finally, you'll leave the Tower of London via the Bloody Tower for a little bit of dark history before returning to the 21st century.

My father was a Yeoman Warder. My parents last abode was Tower Green, right by the Bloody Tower (known internally as "the blood tub"), which my mother used to clean after closing. My children were baptised in the chapel of St.Peter ad Vincula. Thank you very much for this excellent video! 😍

I am a Londoner, born in St John's wood in 1929. I just love walking around London with you. As I am living in Sydney Australia, I do miss MY London, so a very Big Thank You.🙏🙏🇦🇺🦜🐨🦘

I'm stunned. Your video shows 100% more of the Tower than I was able to see in 1985. The jewels were not even there at that time, they had temporarily sent them away (?). But all the rooms of the monarchs were also not available, or if I walked through them they must have all looked the same, with no markers. You have done a wonderful job and NOW I have seen a lot of the Tower.

The Yeoman Warders are amazing. When I visited the Tower in 2015, two stood at the chapel and explained what the chapel was used as and who were buried underneath. At the end, they kindly reminded everyone that you had to mind your step when going outside.
Should any woman fall, she was reminded that these men were strong and would gladly catch them. Should any man fall, he would be reminded that the ground was rather hard.

Excellent tour, thank you. Having visited the Tower on three occasions, this is the most informative visit of all. It's really great when someone from a different country takes such an interest in British history.

[tippysdaddy]

That was excellent, thank you. I am a wheelchair user, as such I would not be able to access, many of the areas which you covered, so without you I would have missed so much ❤

I just found this channel and I'm so excited. London is my number one place on my bucket list to visit, mainly because of the Tower of London. I've just felt drawn to it ever since I was a little girl. I'm an American, and I think our history is so boring. English history is my favorite by far.

[kimberlyperrotis]

This is the best tour of the Tower I’ve ever seen, thanks so much. I especially enjoyed the interiors, which no one ever shows.

[celtic_bard]

Margaret, you're voice is so calming.

[janisripple]

I’ll not be able to travel however Your utube tube channel allows me the joy of seeing English History.
Thank You ❤

[MsBornfree]

This is the most lovely and charming tour of the Tower I've ever seen.

[maeve]

Thanks so much. I'm a disabled EMT/FIREFIGHTER & bedridden. I spend a lot of time watching vids, touring the world and places I'd have loved to see. This is marvelous.
I do have a suggestion. When you walked by several displays mentioning the items, you didn't take time to show them. Even just 3 seconds or so would be lovely to see things. The material used in the beds, weaponry, coins, helmets, etc. I'll check out other vids to see if I can find them.
Keep up the great work & climbing... Look forward to seeing your other tours.

This Lady does an excellent Job of Bringing UK History to Life; I'll never get there; but love the History it represents.

[theroyals]

I could stay there all day long just looking the details all those ancient things, oh gosh so incredible. Hope I can visit the tower one day

[kayt]

These walking tours online, are great. I really appreciate watching them. I am wheelchair disabled in US. Love to see some from Italy and Austria/ Germany. Sandrigham Home of Kings & Queens, also. Haven't seen any online.

[Tessa-dgno]

Elizabeth and Elizabeth 1 and 2 were brilliant queens and will always be they new how to rull there country and who to help them lovely people tess❤

I have been to London many times in my younger years. In truth, it was my favorite city to visit, and the Tower and Westminster Abbey were my favorite places in the world to just wander around and soak up all the history. Just incredible! Margaret gives a really nice tour, informative but relatable and personable. I will definitely be looking at some of her other videos. I can only imagine how sore her feet and legs are at the end of the day from all that walking and climbing!

[RAFchurchlawford]

You've got a wicked sense of humour. When talking about Tower Hill being the place where most executions took place, you said: beheading there in a minute! 🤣 37:20

[judithmctaggart]

We did not see everything, when there. I refused to rush. As soon as the world gets back to sanity, we want to go back, and the Tower will be on our list. You did an excellent job and sharing history. I highly recommend reading about the history, it adds to the fullness of the visit. Thank you for sharing.

I walked through some of the Towers in 89. We went to England and Scotland on family vacation for almost 3 weeks. We spent most of our time in and around Stratford upon Avon. We spent 3 days in Scotland. And our last 3 days were in London. The jewels and clothing were so pretty.
