When the crowds leave, the Tower of London takes on a whole new life—mysterious, eerie, and steeped in legend. With exclusive after-hours access, get ready for ghostly tales, hidden secrets, and centuries-old rituals.
Step into the darkness of London’s history
As night falls over London, the Tower’s secrets come creeping out. Follow a Yeoman Warder through shadowy paths, past the eerie Traitor’s Gate—where prisoners took their final, fateful steps. Stand in Execution Square, where history took a dramatic turn (sometimes with a swing of the axe). Peer up at the White Tower and shudder outside the Bloody Tower, where dark deeds left their mark. From Anne Boleyn’s tragic end to the vanished princes, these stories might just send a ghostly chill down your spine!
See a 700-year-old tradition
For 700 years, the Tower of London has locked up its secrets—literally. Stroll past the historic Church of St Peter ad Vincula, a quiet resting place in a fortress filled with dark tales. Then, the real magic begins: the Ceremony of the Keys. A Yeoman Warder, decked out in red and gold, marches through the gates with the King's Keys and a flickering lantern. Soldiers stand watch, the gates are locked, and a lone bugle call echoes through the night. Chills? Guaranteed.
