Members-Only Ceremony of the Keys

• A special monthly event exclusively for Historic Royal Palaces members

• Be greeted by a Yeoman Warder and watch an age-old traditional ceremony within the Tower's walls

The Ceremony of the Keys is the traditional locking up of the Tower of London and has taken place on each and every night, without fail, for at least 700 years.

Changes to ticket prices for this unique event

This month we will be offering a range of ticket prices between £10.00 and £50.00, enabling you to decide what price you want to pay.

If affordability is an issue, then we invite you to pay the current base price of £10.00 per ticket.

If you can, we would ask that you choose our suggested ticket price of £30.00.

Your visit will help us continue to look after the Tower of London and our five iconic sites - Hampton Court Palace, Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. As an independent charity, we receive no government or royal funding.
