As you arrive from a long plane ride to here in England you probably want to already see something amazing. This is where the the tower of London is. The tower of London lies on the North bank of the Thames river in central London. Its a real castle, it was important to Medieval Europe's existence. It was a Treasury, record office, Armoury, and a menagerie. After a period of time however it became a prison and held thousands of criminals. It created the term "sent to the tower" as it was common place to hold captives. Elisabeth one was also held up in there for quite some time. This building is true medieval history and is something you cant miss its a building that withstood time and showed how real castles were like, not on cartoons as they are portrayed. This place is 4 stars because it is really something You don't see everyday and is part of something long ago. great place, but perhaps a little better service in the shops and restaurants near by. places to stay near the London tower include the The tower, A guoman Hotel, it may not be beautiful but it as great views of the Tower of London, 4 star hotel. More info at Guoman.com. restaurants include SAF, a four star restaurant close by that has high quality food, slightly expensive however, or if you want cheaper and closer try Cote restaurant, still great places to eat.
