Britain's Best - Tower of London

The Tower of London is the ultimate symbol of English history for me! Packed with wonderful tales from throughout English history, its association with the English Monarchy, imprisonment, be-headings, torture and so much more! A fantastic day out for all the family, you can really feel the history as you explore all the wonderful towers, buildings and grounds. Fantastic!

When first faced with the question, what is Britains Best Historical site, the Tower of London sprang immediately to my mind.

The Tower is far too touristified these days, I'd like to see it regain its air of mystery and menace, but when you consider everything that has happened on this site over the last 900 years or so, it essentially represents the complete history of Britain.

And there are some fascinating "what if's ?" too, that you can ponder whilst visiting this site.

What if some of the notorious executions and imprisonments hadn't actually happened ? How would that have affected our history ?

Essentially it's a fascinating and stimulating place to be - if you ignore the clicking of cameras.
