What you can expect

Explore London's famous Tower of London in a whole new way by taking part in an exclusive after-hours tour. Discover the castle's intriguing history and uncover its secrets as you listen to your personal Yeoman Warder guide share stories about why it became such an infamous prison.

At nightfall, the Tower of London is transformed as the crowds clear out and silence falls over the building. Traitor's Gate takes on a new air of mystery as you hear how its original purpose changed to bring prisoners to the Execution Block. Step into a site that's brimming with secrets, where the walls whisper tales of the past—and you'll get to savour it all long after the crowds have left.

Your night tour of the Tower of London is filled with intrigue and mystery. Listen to tales of lions and elephants that once lived here, find out why the Crown Jewels are kept here, and learn which ill-fated women met their end in this iconic fortress. As you walk through these walls, your guide will be a living representation of the castle's long history. Yeoman Warders have been part of this storey for hundreds of years, and must still reside inside the Tower.

You’ll finish by viewing the Ceremony of Keys, an event that very few members of the public are lucky enough to witness. As the oldest military ceremony in the world, this traditional London ritual is as much a part of the city as black taxis and red phone booths. You'll be enchanted as Yeoman Warders, covered head to toe in Tudor dress, deliver their famous lines and pass the keys to the Chief Warder.

Experience the Tower of London like never before on this evening tour. Discover its rich history, see ancient customs in action, and be astounded by the unbelievable stories in this iconic landmark. Immerse yourself in the majestic beauty of the Tower of London and leave with an unforgettable memory that so few ever get to experience.
