​
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 09:15 to get us to Westminster Pier for 11:15. We will enter the Tower at about 12:00 and we will head 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.
