London is a vibrant and sprawling city—it’s actually one of the 15th biggest cities in the world. You could spend years exploring this vibrant city, but many travelers only have a short period of time here—-as little as 24 hours. So if you’re trying to make the most of one day in London, here’s exactly how you should spend it.
There’s so many attractions to choose from in London, but you’ll find one site at the top of almost every visitor’s buckelist—the Tower of London. This impressive structure is both a UNESCO Heritage Site and the most complete example of an 11th century fortress palace remaining in all of Europe. There’s a LOT to see and do in the Tower, from admiring the legendary Crown Jewels to learning about the Tower’s more sordid past as a prison and execution site. So if you want to make the most of your limited time, here’s everything you need to know about visiting the Tower of London.
