Before, I always confused Tower Bridge with the Tower of London, saying that Tower Bridge was actually a fortress to defend against foreign enemies in ancient times, and later it was also the place where many important criminals were beheaded. Both the London Pass and 2FOR 1 can enjoy the Tower of London. ...

It's not a tower, it's a prison with blood and tears under the high wall, a famous site in the history of the royal family, and an ancient instrument of torture that can see the historical and cultural imprint. Tickets are not very expensive, about ten or twenty pounds.

The development of history
The earliest known fortress built here is the Roman castle used by Claudius to protect Umm, Rendini.
As early as 1980s, William the Conqueror (1066- 1087) began to build the Tower of London.
The history of the Tower of London began with the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066, and his brother-in-law was crowned, but William, the Duke of Normandy at that time, claimed that he was also promised as the heir to the throne as a distant relative. William defeated King Harold of England at the Battle of Hastings, and then sent the advance troops.
