The Tower Bridge, which is right behind the Tower of London

Before going to London we had heard about The Ceremony of the Key at the Tower of London: a 700 year old mysterious event where we hold candles and walk through the tower as they lock up the Crowned Jewels…or so we thought.

In reality, we stood outside for 35 minutes as the tower guards performed a ceremony involving the closing of the tower’s gates, the transfer of the key from the guard to the night watchman and a lot of army talk. Still, it was a very cool ceremony and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. For more info, click here.
