Historic fortress, royal heritage, and riverside landscapes in London

The Tower of London UNESCO World Heritage Site stands on the banks of the River Thames in central London, where nearly a thousand years of history are preserved within one of England's most significant historic landmarks. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the fortress has served as a royal residence, prison, armoury, and centre of government throughout its history.

Located beside the Thames Path and within the historic landscapes of the City of London and Tower Hamlets, the site forms part of a wider network of routes, landscapes, and places across the capital. The Tower of London connects royal heritage, historic architecture, and riverside landscapes within one of the United Kingdom's most recognised UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
