Tower of London

In our second day in London we went of on our own for some exploring. First stop Tower of London. We were able to explore and see everything inside.

Traitor's Gate

In the White Tower we were able to see this amazing display called Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill. It was 3 floor of exhibits of the various pieces of armour and weapons that belonged to Henry VIII. Also there were these cute little armour sets that belonged to children and the pieces that the horses wore. Sadly there were no pictures allowed in there but you can see some of the stuff here : www.hrp.org.uk/Toweroflondon

The Crown Jewels are kept in here, we saw the line and decided against going in to see since there was lots more we wanted to get in that day!

After the Tower we enjoyed a little lunch break before catching the Train out to Hampton Court Palace.
