From 22 April until 6 July the ground floor area of the White Tower will be closed to visitors whilst we re-present the Line of Kings exhibition. All the other floors are open as usual.
The Royal Beasts exhibition will be closed on the 21 May due to essential maintenance works needing to take place. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
The Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula
The chapel is a working community chapel and can sometimes close during opening hours. It is used for Sunday services and occasional weekend ceremonies. If there is an evening service or event the chapel will close after the last Yeoman Warder tour.
If you are visiting specifically to see the Chapel, we recommend that you check before purchasing tickets.

Gun Salutes
These special commemorative firings take place on the Gun Park located on the Wharf. You do not need a Tower ticket to watch them as they can be viewed on Tower Hill, however closer views will be available inside the Tower for ticket holders.
Please note the Wharf will close at least an hour before the Gun Salutes and there will be no access to the parts of the Wharf during the set up and duration of the Gun Salutes.
