Hotels near the Tower of London Bridge

Built by William the Conqueror, a tower has stood on the north bank of the River Thames since the early 1080s. It was used as a royal residence, particularly in the run-up to a coronation, and later became a prison for some notable traitors. After Henry VIII's break with Rome, the tower became synonymous with political prisoners, including Sir Thomas More, and even in later years Elizabeth I. Anne Boleyn was also executed on the lawn of the tower. It wasn't until the 19th century that the tower became a popular tourist attraction, which it remains to this day, although the last execution was as recent as 1941. There are different parts that make up the Tower of London, from the execution place Tower Green to the Medieval Palace, White Tower and the priceless Crown Jewels. The Imperial State Crown alone has 2, 868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and five rubies. Since the end of the 19th century the skyline from Tower of London has an added landmark, Tower Bridge and crossing it will bring you to the attractions of the South Bank, including Borough Market and London Eye.
