Our outing began with a one-way voyage from Westminster Pier to Tower Pier. This will be on the Uber Thames Clipper River boat and will take about 20 minutes.
Your Tower admission ticket includes: The Crown Jewels; The Ravens; The public outside areas of the Tower (including the Moat); Tower Green; White Tower (including Line of Kings, Armoury In Action and St John's Chapel); Medieval Palace; The Battlements; and Bloody Tower. The ceramic poppies can also be viewed as part of the 80th anniversary of VE-day
Some parts of the Tower have difficult stairs and passageways, with a large number of steps throughout and cobbles laid in some of the surfaces and pathways. See the Tower of London accessibility page for more information.
Our coach (with WC) will leave at 9:15 to get us to Westminster Pier for 11:15. We entered the Tower at about 12:00 and headed home at 17:00 arriving at about 19:00.
The Tower advise that to see everything takes 3 – 4 hours, including the Crown Jewels which can take 20 -60 minutes.
Inside the Tower there are four eating opportunities, in the New Armouries Café (step-free and mentioned for groups), Ravens Café, Jewel Kiosk and Tower of London Café (step-free). This link gives more information Eating|Tower of London|Historic Royal Palaces. Or you could bring a picnic.
The cost of the outing is £60. Our Group Ticket does not mean that we have to go around the Tower together as a group, but we do have to enter as a group.
