Tower of London Photo
The Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror towards the end of 1066. He built the White Tower in 1078. Over the centuries the Tower of London has been used as a royal residence, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint, a records office and to house the Crown Jewels. It is run by the Constable of the Tower, who is chosen from the leading nobility and courtiers. On four occasions the Constable has also been Archbishop of Canterbury.
