The London Tower

Today my family and I were going into the city of London to investigate the tower. To get there we had to take 2 trains. When we got to the station Tower Hill, we went walking and we reached the tower entrance. My family and I gave the lady in the booth our passes, and we started our investigation!

First, we all walked to the first tower and we went in, there were pictures, lots of stairs, and many history to the complex. I wondered why all the buildings were so old but looked very suitable to walk around.

When my family and I were done looking around it was time for a tour. So we headed back to the entrance, put on our informations cap and we all were ready to learn. Did you know that the London tower is not one tower it is a complex of different towers with much history? Also did you know that this place had dungeons and a zoo? Also one thing I found absolutely amazing was that when people broke the rules, such as disliking the king or queen, that traitor was beheaded and then they were buried in a special place,the church by the tower? I know creepy, right?

We also got to see the Crown Jewels that the dukes, king and queens wore.
