The Tower is closed 24-26 December (inclusive) and 1 January.

We recommend visitors allow at least 2-3 hours to see everything. 

At busy times, queues are likely to form within the Tower.  If visiting during school holidays or in the summer, please allow more time to fully explore the Tower.

The last Yeoman Warder tour starts at 14.30 (winter), 15.30 (summer).

The Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula is a working community chapel and therefore can sometimes close during opening hours. It is used for Sunday services and occasional weekend ceremonies. If you are solely visiting the chapel we recommend that you check before entering its opening times for the day.  


Tickets are available in person on the day or by calling: 0844 482 7799
