	Tower of London
	A truly fascinating place to visit, the Tower of London has protected, threatened, imprisoned and even executed the people of London for over a thousand years. Originally built in 1078 by William the Conqueror to keep the unruly citizens of London under control, it is now home to the Crown Jewels and is keeper to the Royal Ravens. The ravens are flightless birds due to the fact their wings are clipped and this tradition points to the superstition that the English still believe dating back from time of Charles II that when there are no longer ravens in the Tower both the White Tower and the Commonwealth of England would fall. Still the best-preserved medieval castle in Europe the Tower of London is brimming with history and wonderfully atmospheric. Definitely an attraction not to be missed.
