One of the most decorated parts of tower of London. It is an artillery museum keeping on display old armour and weapons.
What makes this place beautiful and worth your time is it's architecture. It an old old but well preserved and quaint.
You would love sitting here and imagine how beautiful it would have been in its time.

The Original Tower, this beauty is full of
history and weaponry. Lots of stairs to climb
but well worth it. Terrific displays and good
views.

After walking round the grounds we went into the White Tower, the original Norman keep, to see the arms and armour display. This had changed hugely since our last visit many years ago and we spent well over an hour working our way through each floor. The exhibitions were excellent with a good mix of display and interactive areas and everything was well explained and labelled.

The finest collection of armor and weapons I've ever seen. It's amazing how much they are able to fit in such a small space. Be prepared to spend about an hour here, a very awesome hour!

The Royal Armouries White Tower was a spot in London my older brother was especially interested in visiting. And so, we visited and it was very interesting! We toured around the entire Tower of London but were mostly fascinated by the intricate armours, swords and variety of weapons the Royal Armouries displayed and detailled.

Probably the best part of the tower experience, seeing the suits of armour in all shapes and sizes for man and beast (horses) some of which are absolutely stunning, as you move onwards and upwards you'll see all manner of weaponry from various stages of history and development, through to some very modern firearms, some very blinged up ones too, there also a beautiful chapel, fairly large and very modest but this just adds to it's beauty, there's quite a lot to see, with a few interactive things, a definite high light.

Wow. The amount of weapons and armour here is amazing. So well maintained and gleaming as if it were just made.
It’s really eye opening to see the skills they had all those years ago.

It’s a bit of a walk around but we’ll worth it with some interactive screens.

Fascinates to see the armour of king Henry. Can’t imagine how heavy they must have been.

I had hoped this to be free to visit similar to the one in Leeds and honestly found it lacking in comparison. It's part of the white tower, so you have to pay for that as well. Some great pieces of armor and the basement is pretty cool, but I wouldn't visit white tower just for this.
