Tower of London June 2004 - page 2
These images are from our visit to the Tower of
London in June 2004. We looked round the White Tower, saw
the armoury and walked round the wall walk.
This is page two of two.

The White Tower was our next visit at the Tower of London. It was
like a museum inside with lots of exhibits.
|
On the way to the White Tower we saw these two characters fighting with
swords, they certainly made it look realistic! While they were
fighting it out they explained all the moves and counter moves,
something warriors of old would need to know! Quite an audience
gathered to observe.
|
|
Inside the White Tower now, which would have been alright if it wasn't
for all the other tourists! The White Tower marks the start of
the Tower of London's history, which it's got quite a lot of!
|
There were plenty of exhibits, this one showed a model of the Tower of
London as it was in 1547 and no, Mike doesn't remember that far
back! Tower of London websites are on our tourist links page.
|
|
A mounted suit of armour on an armoured horse! It's amazing they
ever managed to move let alone gallop! Hope it didn't rain or
neither would be able to move, it'll all rust up! How on earth
did they ever manage to fight?
|
It looks like someone's pointing a gun at Mike's head here, while
Belinda looks on in amusement. All the olden guns, armour and
stuff was amazingly interesting and we spent ages in the White Tower
studying it all.
|
|
In a rare moment where no one else was around we managed to
read the exhibits on the wall. In actual fact it was all
rather popular and busy.
|
The armoury and a large collection of guns hanging up on the
wall. The White Tower was begun during William the Conqueror's
reign.
|
|
Now we're in the torture room, hmmm, that rack looks like there's no
one's using it, fancy a nice stretch Belinda?!
|
We still haven't managed to get you locked up Mike! Here we are
on the wall walk, our visit to the Tower of London almost over.
|
|
Yes, that looks suspiciously like Tower Bridge again over
there. For website links to the Tower of London and other London
attractions, see our UK tourist links
page. We enjoyed a great day out at the Tower and can highly
recommend it for a visit.
|
Just as we were leaving the Tower we saw this luxury yacht moored up
alongside HMS Belfast. How the other half live, eh! We
visited HMS Belfast a few
years back on another of our London trips, have a look if you fancy a
nose.
