Tower of London
Dec. 12th, 2011 07:33 pmTo celebrate ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shuripentu's birthday we had a group excursion to The Tower of London. It was one of those lovely winter days that was absolutely freezing but with a beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine. I went to The Tower on a school trip, my abiding memory of which was drawing pictures of armour and staring at the crown jewels. My abiding memory this time is not really knowing what I was looking at - I really should commit to buying audio guides so I've got some sort of clue. We did take the little guided tour which was entertaining, and gave a good overview, but I found myself craving wikipedia.
All in all, the tower is very impressive and a nice touristy trip, but it only really takes 3 or 4 hours and at 19quid for the ticket it's a bit steep.
