DoubleTree by Hilton - Tower of London (London, United Kingdom) - Queen Guest Room
This short video looks at my stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tower of London hotel this past summer.
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of London's financial district and near public transport and famous tourist attractions. I check into the hotel using the priority HHonors line and make my way up to my room. I review the Queen Guest Room with focus on the room's size/ambiance, bed, furnishings, TV, work station and bathroom. I then head down to take a look at the hotel's gymnasium and Executive lounge. The video finishes off with me having a peek at the hotel's breakfast offerings at its restaurant, City Cafe.

Planning a trip to London? Check out these tips on what you'll see on a visit to the Tower of London, also known as the Bloody Tower. If you like haunted houses, don't miss the ghost tour!
The Tower of London is also known as the Bloody Tower, and it’s earned the name. Since 1066, when William the Conqueror had it built to frighten his subjects into submission and to threaten those who wanted to invade his kingdom, it has seen the death and imprisonment of royalty–along with a lot of other people. This is where the former queens Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were executed. Prince Edward V was kept prisoner in the Tower before he vanished, as were bishops, kings, dukes, and more. The Tower of London is such an imposing fortress, it’s where the Crown Jewels are kept safe. With all that bloodshed, it’s no wonder some believe the Tower of London is haunted; you can even take a ghost tour. If that’s not your thing, check out the medieval palace inside the Tower instead. See the Yeoman Warders–or the “Beefeaters”–to learn about the old Royal Bodyguard. Search for the resident ravens; it’s said that England will fall if they leave the Tower. The Tower of London has so much history, you can’t
afford to miss it.

The Tower of London - London Landmarks - High Definition (HD) YouTube Video
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison since at least 1100, although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.
The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public records office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II, a procession would be led from the Tower to Westminster Abbey on the coronation of a monarch. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower is in charge of the castle. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period. In the late 15th century the castle was the prison of the Princes in the Tower. Under the Tudors, the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle its defences lagged behind developments to deal with artillery.
The peak period of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures who had fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, were held within its walls. This use has led to the phrase sent to the Tower. Despite its enduring reputation as a place of torture and death, popularised by 16th-century religious propagandists and 19th-century writers, only seven people were executed within the Tower before the World Wars of the 20th century. Executions were more commonly held on the notorious Tower Hill to the north of the castle, with 112 occurring there over a 400-year period. In the latter half of the 19th century, institutions such as the Royal Mint moved out of the castle to other locations, leaving many buildings empty. Anthony Salvin and John Taylor took the opportunity to restore the Tower to what was felt to be its medieval appearance, clearing out many of the vacant post-medieval structures. In the First and Second World Wars, the Tower was again used as a prison, and witnessed the executions of 12 men for espionage. After the Second World War, damage caused during the Blitz was repaired and the castle reopened to the public. Today the Tower of London is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. It is cared for by the charity Historic Royal Palaces and is protected as a World Heritage Site.

Tower of London and it's History - London Attractions
Are you searching for the top attractions in London which you will need to visit while you are in the city? There are a couple of ones to be mentioned which people always know about and visit without even searching, one of these touristic attractions in London is the Tower of London.
The history of the Tower of London was written first when William the conqueror built a mighty stone tower at the centre of his London fortress back in the 1070's, defeated Londoners back at that time used to look at this tower in awe, which is exactly the same thing now when all those millions of visitors come to check it on a yearly basis.
The Tower of London is not just a building that astonished people when they come to visit it from the outside, but it is also the home for different traditions that are still living in it until today, such as the Ceremony of the Keys as well as the ghost stories and the terrible tales of torture and execution.
The Tower of London is also the protector of the Crown Jewels, it is home of the Yeoman Warders and its legendary guardians, the pampered ravens and it has also been home to a wide array of institutions that include the Royal Mint, the Royal Armouries and even a zoo.
Through the long history of the Tower of London, it has been known as the secure place where the royal possessions were guarded and even where the royal family itself was guarded in the times of war and invasions. Over all those years, the Tower of London was used as a luxurious place by the monarchs, but we should never forget that this tower has been always seen as a symbol of fear as well and this goes back to the rivals and enemies who the kings and queens used to imprison within the walls of the tower.
The Tower of London is also known as the White Tower and it is located on the north bank of River Thames in central London; it is found just beside the famous Tower Bridge of London which is one of the other top attractions of the city. The Tower is a complex of several buildings which are located within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat, and there were several phases of expansion in the 12th and 13th centuries which were mainly done under Kings Richard I, Henry III and Edward I.
With all the things that have written the history of this huge castle in London and the different things it is considered responsible for, like protecting the royal possessions and the royal family at times, it has also been used as a prison in the 16th and 17 centuries and there were many famous figures who have fallen into disgrace during that time, like Elizabeth I before she became a queen, Sir Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth Throckmorton who were all held within the walls of the castle. This use of the castle actually led to the appearance of the phrase sent to the tower, but despite this reputation about the place when it comes to torture and execution, there were only seven people executed within the tower before the World Wars of the 20th century.
After the World Wars, the castle was restored several times and was used for different reasons, it was also used for executions once again and eventually it was restored and opened to the public so that they could come in and check the place.
Today, the Tower of London is one of the top attractions of the city that is visited by millions of people per year. The Tower of London is cared for by the charity Historic Royal Palaces and it is protected as a World Heritage Site under the ceremonial charge of the Constable of the Tower.
When London is mentioned in any conversation there is, there are a couple of touristic attractions which are usually mentioned. The Tower of London is one of those attractions as well as the Tower Bridge that is located right next to it - and it is believed that the two names are related to one another - but there is also Buckingham Palace which is considered the most famous now in the city ( Big Ben which identifies London as being an important attraction in it ( London Eye which is now known as Coco-Cola London Eye and which gives people views all over the city ( there is also the Chinatown in London ( London Aquarium ( and the famous Natural History Museum (
Looking back into the history of the places that you visit in every single city you travel to will bring lots of information and will give you the chance to try and picture it all, adding new information to your mind.

The Ravens: Guardians of the Tower of London
Legend says that the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress...
There are nine ravens at the Tower today (the required six plus a few spare!). Their lodgings are to be found next to the Wakefield Tower. These magnificent birds, large members of the genus Corvus, the crow family, respond only to the Ravenmaster and should not be approached too closely by anyone else!
