Book Description
This book is a travel guide to the Tower of London, a historic castle situated on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It is located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. The Tower of London was founded as part of the Norman Conquest, and the White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror. However, it was resented by many as a symbol of oppression inflicted upon London by the new Norman ruling class.
