Tower of London

The Tower of London has to be one of my favorite places to visit while in London. I can and do revisit every time I've been here, and I imagine I'll go a couple more times in the 3 months we are here.

Here's a few of my favorite pictures on the recent trip with our friends Emie and Corey who were able to come over for a visit!

The Infamous Ravens

The White Tower, the main and original building of the Tower of London, used to be white-washed, hence the name.

The famous Yeoman

Inside the White Tower is the Royal Armouries

The Memorial at the execution site it reads:
Gentle visitor pause awhile - where you stand death cut away the light of many days - here jewelled names were broken from the vivid thread of life - may they rest in peace while we walk the generations around their strife and courage - under these restless skies

Etchings within Beauchamp Tower all carved mainly between 1532 and 1672

And a lovely view of the Tower Bridge from within the walls.
