 The
Tower of London has been the corner stone of southeast London since
1078 when construction of the White Tower began. The Tower of London
has a rich and diverse history. It was once a royal palace, a fortress,
a treasury and an armory. However, it is best remembered as a prison.
Edward V and his younger brother are believed to have been murdered
here by their uncle Richard III. The tower is commonly called Bloody
Tower.
The nearby Tower Bridge is awe inspiring, majestic, and may be the
grandest bridge ever constructed. Take a walk across the bridge
and enjoy the superb views. In 2003, this was where the American
entertainer, David Blaine, lived over the Thames river is a glass
box without food for 44 days.
