British Sign Language (BSL) tours

You are invited to discover a thousand years of history at this ancient and powerful fortress. Our trained British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter will guide you around for the day. All you need to do is book a place on one of the pre-arranged dates and specific times.

Available dates and times

  • TBC - 10:30 or 16:30.

Guides and itineraries

We work with qualified guides Laurence Pass and Demelza Northover.

Our BSL interpreter will be wearing a bright blue high visibility vest, with 'BSL interpreter' on the back. They will wear a grey badge with the BSL symbol.

Itineraries can be tailored to individual or group needs.

BSL interpreters can follow the Tower's daily guided tours, any historical re-enactments as well as visit any other attractions within the Tower.

We advise consulting staff at the ticket office, located on Tower Hill, or at the Tower's entrance, about where to locate our BSL interpreter if you arrive later in the day. Alternatively, Warders inside the Tower can assist in locating the interpreter.
