Luckynana Posted June 16 #1 Share Posted June 16 I am so looking forward to touring the Tower of London, and seeing as much as is possible. Is it possible to see all in one day? TIA😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted June 16 #2 Share Posted June 16 As with anything, it depends how 'in depth' you want to be, but I would generally say that yes, its possible to see the whole thing in a day. Also, if you have the time and are fairly close to the Tower, I would highly recommend the 'Ceremony of the Keys'. https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/whats-on/ceremony-of-the-keys/#gs.awscoq If you want to go, book it as soon as you can (if your date is still available), as only a limited number of people are allowed in each night.

Island2Dweller Posted June 16 #3 Share Posted June 16 If you mean "seeing all of the Tower" in one day, yes that's entirely feasible. If you mean "all of London", no - not a chance. A month might do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Thank you, Simon! That is exactly what I was hoping to do! I also remember reading about the ceremony of the keys; thank you for that reminder! 1 hour ago, gunnywife said: If at all possible arrange to go to the Ceremony of the Keys.

gunnywife Posted June 17 #7 Share Posted June 17 In order to attend the Ceremony of the Keys you would have to spend a night in London. You go to the tower at night when it's closed and are let in by invitation only. Hope for a slightly rainy and foggy night to really get the experience. I hope you let us know how you liked it if you're lucky enough to attend. Lynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope our friends are also interested in the Ceremony of the Keys, and that we will luck out in getting the tickets! I read that the tickets will be released at the beginning of August for our September visit.🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanne G. Posted June 22 #11 Share Posted June 22 (edited) If you are not able to get tickets for the evening ceremony of the keys, consider a tour in which you enter the grounds before the tower opens to the public, and you can watch the ceremony to open the tower. I did this a couple years ago, a private tour booked through Get your Guide or Viator, can’t remember exactly. Very enjoyable. You beat the crowds to the Crown Jewels, too.

I asked our friends if they would like to see the Ceremony of the Keys, and they said it would be too late for them after touring all day. I will definitely look into the ceremony to open the tower!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeuqdrazil Posted July 7 #13 Share Posted July 7 If you plan to visit more than one of the 'Historic Royal Palaces' (Tower of London, Hampton Court, Banqueting House, Kensington, Kew are all in/around London), it's worth it to purchase a membership to HRP - you get free entry, and can just walk in, rather than having to wait in line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
