Tower of London


We went to the Tower of London today. We took the tube to the Tower Hill station. Here's the view walking out of the station.

The Tower of London isn't much of a tower. At least not the way I build towers with my Lego blocks. It's more like a castle. There were lots of walls and stairs. And ravens too.


Here's a picture of McKenzie behind the White Tower. You can see the Tower Bridge in the background.

We also saw the Crown Jewels while we were there. They wouldn't let us take any pictures of the Jewels, so I can't show them to you. But take my word for it: somebody really likes diamonds.


After we explored the Tower of London for a few hours, we walked across the Tower Bridge. We saw some cool views from the bridge. Below is a picture of the Tower of London taken from the Tower Bridge, with the city in the background. The next picture is of the London Bridge (lit up in red) with the HMS Belfast in the foreground, taken from the Tower Bridge. Daddy took that picture, so it's a little blurry. Contrary to what the song says, the London Bridge is not falling down.
