Know before you go

Children under 5 are admitted free; children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Some areas of the Tower, including dark passageways and displays relating to executions, may be unsettling for very young children.

Spiral staircases and uneven historic stonework mean some areas are not accessible to all visitors.

Student tickets require valid student ID to be presented at the entrance.
