Tower of London — You can get a crash course in London history in just a few hours, because it’s all in this massive complex – the royal family dynasties, 500 years of the battle armour, the legendary ravens and captured elephants, the poor beheaded royals and peasants, the graffiti left by desperate prisoners. On a lighter note, the Crown Jewels are simply jaw-dropping.
Tower of London, Tower Hill, EC3N 4AB; 0844-482-7777.
