London, England travel: Tower of London

By admin On April 20, 2012 13 Comments

Tower of London. Actually a series of towers surrounded by a double wall. Officially called “Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress The Tower of London”, more commonly known as the Tower of London. This historic monument is located in central London, England on the north bank of the River Thames. More than a day trip from Thornbury Castle, and certainly worth the travel! (You can view this video, and other travel videos in full-size and near-DVD quality, travel stills and more at www.jpmeyer.com). Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, “a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own” according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!
