Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the
Tower of London (and historically as The Tower), is a historic monument
in central London, England, on the north bank of the River Thames. It is
located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and is separated from
the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower
Hill. It is the oldest building used by the English government.
The Tower of London is often identified with the White Tower, the
original stark square fortress built by William the Conqueror in 1078.
However, the tower as a whole is a complex of several buildings set
within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat.
The tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a
prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as the
Princes in the Tower and the future Queen Elizabeth I). This last use
has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower" (meaning "imprisoned"). It has
also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury,
a zoo, the Royal Mint, a public records office, an observatory, and
since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
Location
The Tower is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, at the
eastern boundary of the City of London financial district, adjacent to
the River Thames and Tower Bridge. Between the river and the Tower is
Tower Wharf, a freely accessible walkway with views of the river, tower
and bridge, together with HMS Belfast and London City Hall on the
opposite bank.
