This tower is also known as Her Majesty’s royal palace and fortress which is a historic castle on the north bank of the river Thames in central London, England. It is situated within the London Borough of tower Hamlets, which is apart from the eastern edge of the square mile of the city of London by the open space known as tower hill. If we talk about its history it stretches back almost 1,000 years. From the royal residences it is one of the most interesting places. Originally the tower was a defensive fortress and a royal palace which was constructed by William. When it was discovered it was just for keeping people and when it was keeping people it was used as prison.
It is a house onsite called the queen of house which
she could still inhabit. This tower was used as a prisoner camp during
the World War 2. The Deputy Chancellor of Nazi Germany was imprisoned
in this tower, he tried to parachute into Scotland but again he was
captured.
