Lord Henry joins the queue for The Tower of London The Tower was begun by William the Conqueror as a simple watch tower to keep an eye on The City of London, but it evolved into a palace-fortress by 1100. Henry III added the inner curtain wall and Edward I added a wider moat and a line of outer fortifications, most of what we see today was in place by 1307! It is very popular with tourists from all over the world.
Sadly we did not have time to do a full tour.

Lord Henry at The Round Table Too dark for a good photo, but this is King Arthur's Round Table!
Well nearly, quote: "Although now known to have been constructed in the 14th Century, and repainted in its present form for King Henry VIII, the table has for centuries been venerated by generations of tourists."
