The Tower Of London – How I Love Thee

The Tower of London is steeped in history and in mystery – all of it extremely relevant to England, and to history lovers everywhere.  What  went on behind these walls built as early as the 11th century by William Conqueror – may be better left to the imagination.  If you would like to know more about The Tower of London and it’s history, just click here.  However, a visit to London cannot be complete without a visit to one of it’s historical landmarks, and I highly recommend a visit to the Tower of London.   Oh, how  I love thee Tower Of London, let me count the ways:
