Tower of London After Hours with Beefeater and Keys Ceremony
A guided, shared tour of the Tower of London during an after-hours tour of the grounds with a Yeoman Warder.
The Tower of London is renowned for its magnificent architecture, sometimes unbelievable history, and enduring legacy. Experience it in its full glory on an exclusive nighttime tour as you head inside after the gates to the public have closed. As you explore the outdoor areas of the grounds with a Beefeater guard as your guide, you'll uncover age-old secrets and tales of the Tower's past before witnessing one of London's most historic acts: the Ceremony of Keys. Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
At nightfall, the Tower of London is transformed as the crowds clear out and silence falls over the building. After the crowds have left for the day, you'll step into a site that's brimming with secrets, where the walls whisper tales of the past.
You'll finish by viewing the Ceremony of Keys, the oldest military ceremony in the world and an event that very few members of the public are lucky enough to witness. With only 50 places available each night, access to the ritual is highly coveted and hard to secure—but your spot will be guaranteed.
Please note: This tour does not include access to the Crown Jewels or access inside the buildings. This is a tour of the Grounds only and The Ceremony of the Keys. While the tour of the grounds of the Tower of London is limited to just your group, other visitors are able to purchase Ceremony of the Keys tickets and will be admitted to the Tower to witness the ritual.
