The Tower of London is located on the north banks of the Thames and was built by William the Conquerer following his conquest of England in 1066. The complex has served as symbol of conquest, a prison, a place of execution, an arsenal, and a repository for the British crown jewels. Now it is a major tourist attraction that I, along with my daughter-in-law, Bei, visited on my last day in London. Here are some photos that I took.
The White Tower, built by William the Conquerer.
Suit of armor. There were plenty of these.
Canon, including one cast in the shape of a lion.
A couple of passageways. (I have a thing for these.)
Lavender with the Tower of London as a backdrop.
