Travel tips

Tips for a Calm Visit to the Tower of London

Make space for an unhurried visit to a fortress with many stairs.

Tower Green and its trees seen from above the walls, with timber-framed houses and the Shard beyond

Choosing a time

The Tower is usually quietest before 11:00 outside the holiday season. In school holidays it is busiest in the morning, and visiting after 13:30 is suggested.

Steps and spiral stairs

The Tower is a historic site with difficult stairs and passageways, including spiral staircases, and step-free access is very limited. The Jewel House, the Mint Street exhibition, the ravens’ area and the café are step free.

Timber-framed houses beside Tower Green, with a single rounded tree on the lawn
