We decided to buy a 10day London Pass. At £126 each, it was expensive it was expected to save us a lot of money in cost of admission and fast track us past some of the crowds.
It was to save us over £280 each by the end of the 10days.
DAY 1
We got up early and jumped the queue at the Tower of London
Yes, we made to the Tower of London.
and as you can see, well before the crowds got there too.
Tower Bridge was looking great and the view from the King quarters was the best of course.
We followed a lot of the route by audio tour. there were places of course that had the sign
"NO PHOTO'S'
like the crown jewels.
The Ravens were there of course.
As were the Beefeaters.
But it was the grandeur of the place that got to you.
This is still a function barracks and a living museum.
Most of the room had something but pictures in the dark are not easy.
We both want to go back and spend more time. but after four hours we moved onto the Tower Bridge Experience.
At the Tower Bridge experience you get to go up into the dark tower and see the history of it. It is built of steel with brick and stone surround. you also get to walk across the top.
The views from there were breath taking and you could actually put your camera outside and take pictures.
And to finish it off, you get to go down into Pump house and see all the pumps that used to run it.
These have been restored and beautiful works of art on there own.
Day one, was 7 hours long.
