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.
