See the Crown Jewels, the ravens, the public outside areas of the Tower of London, the White Tower, including Line of Kings, Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, Bloody Tower, Medieval Palace, Torture at the Tower exhibition, Fusiliers Museum and the Royal Mint exhibition. The ground floor of Beauchamp Tower is open but the rest of building remains closed. The nature of the buildings means not all areas are able to be accessed safely. We hope to re-open them as soon as it's safe to do so.
The Wharf will be closed to public access on the following dates:

The Wharf will also close the evening before each gun salute (from 18.00 to 21.00) for rehearsals.
Please note, the 13:00 Yeoman Warder Tour will be cancelled when a gun salute is taking place. They recommence at 13:30.
During the middle ages successive kings believed it was their right to get tolls from vessels on the Thames. The Constable of the Tower of London was allowed to demand these tolls on the king's behalf. In 1381 King Richard issued a grant that required every galley passing the Tower to present 'two roundlets of wyne' to the Constable.
The next Constable’s Dues ceremony is to be confirmed.
The Ceremony can be viewed inside the Tower and is included in your admission ticket.
