The Tower of London is closed three days in the year. We chose one of those days to visit (New Years Day). So sad we didn't get to see the Crown Jewels and Traitors’ Gate. This place was an object of fear for 900 years. People who committed treason or threatened the throne were held & tortured here. It felt a little torturous since we didn't get to go inside. I guess we will have to go back another time. The "Beefeaters" (guards for the Tower) were standing watch and all smiles for a photo.
