After a full English breakfast, we travel to the Tower of London, a 1,000 year old castle that protects the Crown Jewels. Throughout its long history, it was a secure fortress, a royal palace, and an infamous prison. Kings and queens demonstrated their power from here, shaping society and influencing our world. Today within the walls of this mighty fortress you can see the spectacular displays of the Jewel House, the Tower's Mint and the Royal Armouries (including the armours of Henry VIII). Meet the Yeoman Warders, who have guarded this castle for centuries, and the Tower's symbolic guardians - the Ravens.
Afterwards we visit the British Museum to see the Bayeaux Tapestry. The 70-metre Bayeux Tapestry depicts the 1066 Norman invasion and Battle of Hastings, this will be the first time that the tapestry has been shown in the UK since it was made, almost 1,000 years ago.
