- A notorious prison and place of execution
The Tower of London was built as a secure fortress and a symbol of royal power. Behind the castle's walls were storehouses for weapons and the Royal Mint produced the nation's coins. It was also a royal palace with luxuriously furnished apartments and a menagerie of royal beasts. But the Tower was also used to contain people who posed a serious threat to national security.
Despite its fearsome reputation the story of imprisonment at the Tower is not just one of traitors and gruesome executions. It is also a tale of luxury, banquets and daring escapes. Many prisoners did not end their lives there but were released after paying a ransom or when they no longer posed a threat to security. Like the story of the Tower itself, its role as a prison is a varied one.

I will highly recommend you to check few of my friends : Watched Walker , Sanpo Stroll or my favourite Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films
There are a few places on earth that just "being there" is enough. London is definitely at the top of the list. I used to spend hours just wandering around the city and enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks for sharing!
True!
@thiest1205 If you're into history York is fantastic, it's a great weekend trip. The Minster is stunning and the Shambles are fascinating.
I don't know what I enjoyed more the actual tour or the sound of rain hitting your umbrella. So tranquil, the tour was, of course, lovely as you took time to stop and let us digest it all. It's been over 40 years since I visited the Tower in person so this was nice for me thank you so much 🙏🏻
Much appreciated for your nice comment Jay Lee ! all the best
I was there 8/2019 with my sister-in-law. It was a sunny blue sky day! I had the most glorious vacation - 4 days in London and 3 in Edinburgh. Our days were filled with historic sites, the weather was fine. We stayed at the Stafford in St James St. Great location and lovely small hotel, pricey but worth it to me. In Edinburgh we stayed at the Parliament House Hotel and it was also a great location and I highly recommend it. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Everyplace and excursion we took was a delight! I could have easily stayed for another few weeks! Love from NJ USA
Hi Robert - maaaaaan you Edinburgh is one of my favourite places in the world . I bet you had the holidays of your life ! London and Edinburgh are waaaaaaaaay much interesting cities
no one asked
I used to work in St James St. At the bottom of the road is St James' Palace, and a window you can see, behind the railings, is where Princess Diana was laid before her funeral took place.
So cool, so much history there its unbelievable. I went there once and years later found out i'd had an ancestor, not running things of course, but imprisoned and died there. (Gotta love those outlaw types.. figures my fam had those, rather than royals.) If i'd have known i would have asked a guide to show me the rooms, etc but had no idea. I came back to the states and thought, "Wow, no castles, no cathedrals, no thousand year old anything here." Except the awesome cliff dwellings in the southwest of course. The trip made me realize just how "new" America is. Thx for sharing this video, loved seeing it.
The oldest buildings in Australia are about 200 years old, I NEED SOME HISTORY
Awesome, thanks for uploading this. This is what I love about the internet. Stuck in Pa usa. But able to tour the tower. Still want to get there in person but this will do for now. Thanks 👍
Have fun on the manchester video what will come in 50m :))
I am only 5 minutes into this video but I am thoroughly enjoying how you get close up details of things like wood posts, wallpaper (?), bricks, etc. Thank you for those details. It's transportive, I love the details! We here in the states are reading "An Island Story" as one of our history books in homeschool, and being able to see what we read about is just absolutely fascinating. Thanks so much for this. God bless you
Yes I loved that too, it would take me a year to go through this place, looking at everything
Thank you so much for this tour!! It's always been my dream to go to England and see the tower of London. I have a deep passion for historic buildings and the energy behind each wall. Watching this made my heart buzz with excitement for the future!
You are so welcome!
If you do get there some day, go to the royal palaces website. I've been to half of them now over my two trips to London. You can do Hampton Court in one day. It's about a 45 minute(?) train ride out there. It's the end of the line of that particular rail line, so you won't have to worry about missing the stop! I stayed overnight because I went there for a concert that was in the courtyard and didn't want to take the late train back, just spent the night at a beautiful boutique hotel across the street, and I mean, across the street! Lovely little town, East Molesey.
@@DionnaNalls thank you for this info! I'll definitely keep it in my notes when my hubby and I do go hopefully next year! 🌻
Oh same here Sarah!! I just want to lay my hands on the walls
If you ever do go there definitely do the guided tour, it's brilliant and so funny!
Finally ...the one Attraction I never visited..I can see what I missed.
Great time to visit in the Pandemic..place is empty.
What I understood tower of london is super crowdy, but because of pandemic is quiet and relaxing
Thank you so much for posting...great video, You did a brilliant job.. Stay healthy and safe..
Thanks a lot Kay
This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. I love London in the rain. The Tower is such an amazing place.
Hihi, thank you 🐶
Thanks for your video ! I really enjoyed watching it 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! This was such a peaceful rainy walk through the Tower. I miss London with all my heart.
Amazingly steady-cam footage, and on such a dreary, wet and windy day! Even though I live just 50 miles outside London I haven't been in so many years now due to such historic places not catering to disabled people with limited mobility. The structure of the buildings at this iconic royal palace does not lend itself to being disabled friendly, this I understand. But it's a shame because so many of us are unable to visit. Thank you very much for taking us around this remarkable venue.
Thanks a bunch John !
Makes me feel proud but eerie that I could see Tower Bridge and the tip of the Tower of London from my bedroom window
:)
is it hunted?
Hahaha I will not be able to sleep if I were you, I have a strange habit of looking at those scary buildings are night 😅 even if I am just passing on it on my way.
Thank you ! Love your walks
I will never get tired of seeing London and the areas around. The history of the city blows me away. Thanks from Chicago ( snowing like crazy at present)
Glad you like them!
i cant walk
Thank you for this tour. Looking forward to watching your other videos. I just found your channel an hour ago.
i didnt just find his channel.
I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching
The chuckle at Henry VII jewels protector lmao 45:43
Fantastic!! Best tour ever!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. I like it because you’re much taller than I am and I see everything better. Perfect weather for visiting the Tower.
Hi Mary , indeed im 6.6ft tall :D
Thanks so much for the video! It's such a pity the royal chapel was closed, you missed to see Anne Boleyn's grave!
But I had the "privilege " to have all that big place only for myself . You know usually is way to busy :)
Thank you Sir for giving us a tour!
Thankyou for your videos xx
Nice tour. Brought back memories of my visit there in 2016. Sorry to see Beauchamp Tower was not open. Lots connected to Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane there.
Hi Dionna - was closed because of the " nowdays drama "
Very much enjoyed! Thank you. As i will never see the inside due to physical limitations this was the next best thing . Much appreciated from Canada. 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it Senga ! all the best
Thank you so much, lovely tour amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you
Really interesting ,always wanted to visit,thank you.
I love your videos, very fun and relaxing.
Glad you like them Stassia - all the best and see you in next one !

God bless u!
Im happy you enjoyed my video Angel
Loved it,thanks so much.
You are so welcome Anne xx
Thank you for sharing. It was perfect 👌
I'm glad you enjoyed Rachel
i am.
This was a fantastic tour brother.
Thanks Joel :)
Great walkthrough.
Thanks a lot , hope you enjoyed :)
Very interesting. I was there in 2016 and it was so busy. You showed me areas I could not get too 🙂
Hi Margaret, I wasnt allowed to film inside Crown Jewellery ( to bad ) and one of the tower/museum was closed ...
Never been there - thanx for the upload 👍
You’re welcome Natasha 😊
This good not only interesting but relaxing walk thru 😉🙂 x
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@LADmob yeah thank you
I am mortified that I have visited the tower at least 4 times in the last 15 years, However, with various friends, I was unable to take the opportunity to go inside the many offerings. While I had both the desire and interest, friends did not. I live in the U.S. and at this point do not know when I will be able to return to London. Your video is enthralling. informative and well done. Cannot believe how much i have missed. Thank you
That's what happened with me in Budapest-Hungary , i visited that city in the last 5 years maybe 50 times ( no joke ) and i still haven't seen it all as i met with friends and stuffs like :))) - I said this year 2021 i will go by myself stay 1 week and visit what i missed all this years :))
@@LADmob If the opportunity presents, it is a must!.....especially after the horror of the current pandemic! Currently, I am unable to imagine travel, but I can Dream
I’d have made them wait somewhere and met up later. There’s a reason for the old saying, “no time like the present.” I do hope that you get to visit again.
Thanks for sharing.....
My pleasure
I've been to UK in late 1970 with my dad, he said visiting London is just like visiting a museum, I was a child and I didn't get what he was talking about. I went back to London again in 2016 and just realize the meaning.
I’m really enjoy this virtual tour , imagining explore the tower of london. I would be there one day , promise
nice walking tour! Thank you for sharing! Greetings! ✌😃
Cheers
Another place I’ll never get to see, travel isn’t in the cards for me and GB would be the top of my list. Thank you so much for a beautiful, uninhibited tour. If you could narrate this would be even grander! Many, many thanks for this, I love it!
Im sorry about narration ( i know nothing about that place :) -- in the summer i will learn some ftuffs and hope i will go back film and narate :)
@@LADmob
Oh, no apologies, it would be hard for many people I’m sure. But getting to see the footage is absolutely marvelous. It’s the only way I’ll ever see it. Thank you so very much!
I’m going here today….eeek so excited 😆
So glad I got to see this especially the six famous wives and there children! Exciting was the beheading part! I am not an adult yet but you’ll love to be here! I just recently came back from the palace of Versailles hotel and we took a tour it was amazing as my heritage is mixed, French, and British thank you!
I've been there before, definitely worth it! Was amazing to see my countrys history.
Had to wait in the rain to see the crown jewels with my siblings though lol.
Tip: If your going to see the crown jewels the line is huge, but go on a rainy day the crowd will be shorter.
I was there in 2002. It was very crowded and i spent about 3 hours wandering and seeing things so quickly. This place is like a very refined wine: you have to go thru it very slowly, tasting the air and feeling the historic vibes. It's a shane you did not the video during the night. I wanted to see one of the animal ghosts there... lol. Congrats for the amazing video!
ur old
Thank you so very much......i rememered everything i saw on my owen visit just around 10 years
You are so welcome
I do wish we would have been told what we are looking at. But I still love the tour, as I will never get to see it in person.
im glad you enjoyed Flavia :) -- ps. im not a tour guide, sorry for not saying something about the castle :)
@@LADmob Your video is very good. Better then most I have watched. Thanks.
Thanks buddy, great excursion!
Thanks a lot Alexander
Thank you for taking a lot of trouble to upload a such an informative video even on a rainy day. This video is quite interesting . It's a pity that I could not see the Looted stuff ( I mean the crown jewels !!! ). However was all the important rooms shown ? Mary Queen of Scotts was imprisoned here for some time and I would have liked to see her cell and also the cell where Anne Boleyn was kept. I saw her execution center though.
Great tour, a lot of decay in some places
I can’t go with being in a wheelchair most of the time so thankyou for this my daughters have been and really enjoyed it 😊
Loved it
thank you Tracey
On my bucket list👍🏼☝️☝️
Great video. Thank you! I've always wanted to visit London & Paris, now with the covid crap that may never happen, so your video is a welcomed gift. It is like being there. If you're taking suggestions for future vids, I'd love to see a Windsor Castle tour, West Minister Abbey and graves of historical figures like Bunyan, Dickens, Churchill, etc. would be just glorious. Thanks again from Ontario, Canada.
I'm always open to suggestions my friend :) - wait until everything is open here in UK, and I will make your requests ... 1 month time max:)
@@LADmob Awesome! Glad you saw my post. Thank you! :)
It is generous of you to do close ups of the building materials. Thank you
I've been there three times and it's fascinating and somewhat creepy. You can almost feel the spirits of the people who perished there. It's so interesting to see the contrast from this historic, thousand year old structure, and the highway and city streets full of cars and buses.
Luckily all my visits have been in great weather. I would not like a day like this. LOL
you been 3 times there and you watched my video as well ? WOW you're a star haha - yeah the weather wasn't at its best , but at least wasnt busy as always hahahha - All the best Pamela
@@LADmob Believe it or not, there was a couple spaces I missed. Age and some health issues may prevent me from returning again, but I am so grateful for the visits I have had. "Love" the Tudors and the UK. Happy New Year LADmob.
Lovely walk, btw. I did visit The Tower. Don't remember visiting the inside, though. Watching your video therefore is a nice treat.
1:31 -- Anyone know what happened to this part of the wall or window? Unfortunately, you didn't get close enough to the description board for, anyone to be able to read it.
nice sound of the rain on the brolly
I'm fascinated about the medievel era. And this video makes me feel like excited and scared at the same time cuz I know this is the place where people tortured to death in medieval era. Thanks for the videos, I appreciate it
ur old
@@sophiemakes3361 is 33 old?
Excelente paseo histórico, gracias
thank you my friend
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am currently working on the sequel to my current novel, and a big battle is going to take place at the tower of London and this helped me so much with my research.
Glad I could help you Rolland . If you got any other places you wanna see them , send me a email to aaoxqx@gmail.com and I will try to cover that area as soon as everything will be back to normal :)
@@LADmob thanks... Will do if I can think of anything
i’m not
Excllent castle inside video near tower hill assumes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow the grass is so green,just fascinating!!!
That's because the ground there is really fertile.
i was thinking is all about the " grass type " but thanks for the tip P(amela) Anderson :)
@@LADmob The ground is really fertile because the moat had a secondary function as a toilet.
I dont have to pay my ticket now. I'll just watch your video.
hahahahhahah , nice one :))))
Wow! This is nice.,
Cheera
Thank you so much.
Much appreciated xx
Great tour ....but I missed your chattering !
Thanks for a good video but did I miss the Crown Jewels as I don’t remember seeing them?
Thanks Robert , I'm not allowed to film or take pictures inside so I had to shut down my camera :(
You never saw so many diamonds and gold and ... OMG once you're in london you need to go there and see it with your own eyes . Ohh, they had a metal safe door , tick like 50cm :))
They have a moving walkway to take you past the jewels. I was lucky and was there on a cold day in Feb and it wasn’t crowded at all. I got on the moving walkway like 5 times in a row to be able to view all the jewels, crowns, scepters, if you looked too long at one, you missed so much. You absolutely need to go and visit! And make sure to take the guided walk that the Yeoman Warders give, you learn a lot of history and they are really good story tellers about the Tower. They have such a responsibility and to become one you have to have had like 21 years of service plus all kinds of commendations.
I would love for the Tower of London to have been this empty when I went, it was so crowded :( I need to go again though
myself i will go back once is " full " i want to compare the experience haha
Hi there LADmob, I understand this video was uploaded about 1 month ago. You went to the tower of London during the day on a normal tour and there were this few people? It almost looks like your on a private tour.
Covid has reduced tourism
Enjoyed your tour very much. But a lot of the places. I did not know what they were. Is there a rule that you can not speak as you recorded.
Could not, read a lot of the plaques.
If only those walls could talk!
we will be scared !
Narration or subtitles would have been nice! I sure would like to know what you are showing us. What building are you in? Who's bedroom was that?
what a lovely day in England. i dont know why but Six the musical brought me here.
London is very intresting.
Nice
مشاءالله تبارك الله تمنياتنا لكم اجمل حياه🏞🕺
cheers
You should certainly check out joolz guides on here. He walks all the same streets around London like you, but gives a bit of history too.
Hi Andy, I do followed Joolz adventures hahah . His channel looks like he is making a script before he start filming ( that's how I see it ) so is normal to rea a bit before the location where he will film( or maybe he knows about the area without reading :) )
But yes, myself I don't know nothing about the places where I visit and film them, for me everything is kind of random walk ( I love getting lost on the small streets hahahha ) . I know is quite bad without saying something about the area where I'm in that moment, but for that you have Joolz and John Rogers ( I watch both of them hehe )
So creepy, couldn't they put in more lights in those dark passageways?
Wow that's great thank you so much stay super stay and godbless you and your people
Thanks Carl . All the best and have a great weekend
You to keep warm and safe godbless you
That's interesting that all of the stairways leading downward are all locked. I wonder what's down there.
Or whom. : )
As we say in America : Yeah, really!!
I wonder who or what is down there, too :D.
i would love to see it as well as i love exploring this kind of stairs , alley's and stuffs like hahaha
Sorry to disappoint but it’s mostly storage, offices or areas that would be difficult for visitor access because of fire regulations etc (used to work there😷)
👍👍😎
Then I realize that my fear of crazy steps might be an issue ooops 😱
I’ve actually been here an I love looking round the Tower of London , it’s like having the tour all over again and Traitors gate and the garden where Ann Boleyn had her head decapitated. Was my fav bit , would love to spend a night in there ❤️
Hi Lisa -- do you realise that place is haunted ?!?!?! -- OMG to spend a night there , neveeeeeeer hahahha
@@LADmob just one night I would love it
Come to india.thrrr is more history
Looks like Merlina, one of the Tower ravens. I think she has a pink band on one leg.
I cought on camera 2 ravens , sorry but I dont know nothing about them ...
Museums are the best
got a few more to go :)
Wuaoo..👍👏👏👍👋👋💋🐶💋
hiya
Nice to see as you all are on tour wearing mask but too far of a distance you will get lost from group so by all means keep up,do not get lost there,it would be a dreadful experience!?🤔😣🙂
is a small place , quite impossible to get lost haha
I think it's safe to assume Henry was over compensating
Hi Natalie , hope you enjoyed my video xx
P.S....another thought...it is too bad that the memorial to Ann Boleyn's execution, is incorrectly marked. I suspect it was erected in an area that would not become congested. Still, it is wrong
i dont know what to say Stephanie :) sorry
Wish I had been there.
one day you will :)
i bet there has been a lot of horror inside those walls, the poor children and women that have suffered and murdered by the wealthy of the world, they have and will pay for what they have done
You are so lucky to live in Britain. Love its history and most of all the castles. Loved everything, and yes, I watched the whole video. Loved that it was raining. I pictured the people of those times walking around the castle in their interesting clothes. I find those times so interesting. Wished that I lived there, UK is so Beautiful. There is nothing like that here in the US. To me, US history is boring compare to British history, and sadly, no castles.
England is beautiful and not only London, every part of this country got some nice and historical places ( i love this kind of places ) One day if you cross the pond to UK i can make a itinerary for you what to visit and stuffs like :)
@@LADmob I did experience some of the beauty when I lived in Holland for 3 years in the early 90's. I was able to visit Germany, Paris, and London for only a week, but I loved it, I wish than I would have moved to England. It has everything I Love and my children who were very young at the time, would have had British accents.😞Thank you so much.😊
Selfish English people
From India
@@anuragdhawan8885 what's wrong with you man ?
For a minute there thought you did not have an umbrella!! In the UK you always need umbrellas,raincoat,trenchcoat,poncho,they are very huge island that get lots of rain often at any given,every day preparations,thats why hot drinks a must to have,just like soups,stews,casseroles too!!! Its a beautiful tower,there should not ever been overly fat people,walking there was living daily exercise workout,my goodness gracious!!!!
Why dont you stop and let us read what the signage says about the history or that room or what occurred there ???
Did u see any ghosts? ._.
i will shtt in my pants ! hahahhah
Max
I have the sound all the way up and can’t hear a word she is saying. The music definitely doesn’t help
ohh im sorry for the poor sound, thats why gopro aren't the best in sound recording
