From 6th April 2006, visitors to the Tower of London can discover more about what it was like to be a medieval king living at the Tower. The interior of the Medieval Palace has been richly restored to the opulent royal residence it would have been in medieval times, when Henry III and Edward I would have slept, dined and held court here. 

The Medieval Palace is part of the Tower of London where kings and queens stayed until the reign of Elizabeth I. The restored interior includes replica furniture such as a bed, chests and chairs, and specially-commissioned textiles including rugs, cushions and wall-hangings, all hand-made using traditional skills – smells and sound effects evoking the medieval period have been commissioned too.
