St Thomas's Tower

Built over 700 years ago, these chambers were part of the Tower's residential area. The tower once looked out over the river, and spans the infamous Traitor's Gate.

Receptions can be held in the unrestored hall, a fascinating archaeological record of the building’s history.

Dinners are held in the king's colourful bedchamber, with its grand fireplace, four poster bed and King Edward I's oratory – the little 'chapel over the water'.

The Jewel House

The fabled collection lies secure behind 2,000kg vault doors, but before passing through guests can enjoy a reception in the spacious Hall of Monarchs.

Most of the gold and silver-jewel encrusted pieces on display are the objects used at the coronation of a sovereign. Some were created for Her Majesty The Queen's coronation in 1953. St Edward's Crown is considerably older — it was made in 1661.
