Learn about the history of the Tower of London with iMinds Travel's insightful audio knowledge series. The Tower of London offers an impressive skyline for England’s capital city.

King Edward has died and his unpopular brother-in-law, Harold Godwinson, has claimed the throne.

Editor reviews

A nice introduction to the intriguing history of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, as London's iconic Tower is officially known. Performer Abbey Holmes' voice is silky as she describes the many legends surrounding the Tower, such as the story of the murdered princes, and presents fun facts such as the reason the Yeomen Warders are known as beefeaters. Dramatic music filters in and out of the recording, but enhances it rather than detracts. A recommended choice for tourists on their way to visit London, or students doing projects on this historic castle with a dark history.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

This short narration is great but too short. There is surely enough history to expand this subject further.
