The Tower of London is a World Heritage Site and famous castle of British Royal Family. Being founded in the 11th century, it was used as a prison, as monarchs' residence and as museum in our days. It still keeps royal crown inside. The Tower stands on the bank of River Thames and is a nice place to make a couple of shots with your camera. The Tower Bridge, located nearby, is as interesting location as well. You may read a lot about it, but it is better to go inside with a guide. Our guide was great and showed real performance. He played whole story in roles and I haven't seen something like that before.
