We first went to the Tower of London which was really fun
Fun Facts about the Tower of London
- If the Ravens leave the Kingdom wil fall...At least 6 ravens are kept at the Tower of London at all time, for superstitious reasons. The flock of resident ravens even includes a 'spare'! Each raven has a wing clipped to make sure they don’t fly too far from home.
- During the First World War, there was very little harm done to the Tower. Unfortunately, the Second World War damaged the castle but missed the white tower. At the end of the war, the damage was repaired and reopened to the public.
- During the 1200's a Royal zoo was founded at the Tower of London and remainded ther fpr 600 years. It was filled with exotic animals such as polar bears, lions, kangaroos, ostriches and elephants. When the tower zoo closed down in 1835, all the animals where moved to the new London Zoo in Regent’s Park. Today you will be able to see sculptures of these animals that once lived in the tower.
The Tower of London is also home to the Grenadier Gaurds, Beefeaters and the CrownJewels.
