Thanks for letting me know I will keep watching your videos knowing Sinead is fine, and your channel is fantastic 👌🌟
Too Dizzying To Follow 😟
Thank you for the Marvelous tour. I was here in the mid- 80s and you brought back lots of memories. I enjoyed this tour. Blessings Margaret

My father was a Yeoman Warder. My parents last abode was Tower Green, right by the Bloody Tower (known internally as "the blood tub"), which my mother used to clean after closing. My children were baptised in the chapel of St.Peter ad Vincula. Thank you very much for this excellent video! 😍
Oh wow - that is so amazing! What fascinating experiences you had. Thank you for sharing!
If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
You certainly have a deep connection. I'll love to hear your stories. Ever think of doing some? I'm guessing you haven't but should. 🇺🇸🙏💕🇬🇧
I'd love to know more about your own personal thoughts and recollections of The Tower of London! Please?
Por favor estamos en América latina en el Sur ,traduzcan al Castellano!!!son muy buenos e instructivos videos
Fascinating!! Thank you for sharing 🤗
I'm stunned. Your video shows 100% more of the Tower than I was able to see in 1985. The jewels were not even there at that time, they had temporarily sent them away (?). But all the rooms of the monarchs were also not available, or if I walked through them they must have all looked the same, with no markers. You have done a wonderful job and NOW I have seen a lot of the Tower.
Then smash that like button and share this video :)
the jewel house was relocated in the 90s . people had to wait for hours in a queue to get access into the underground vault down a narrow staircase .
A very through and informative description. Extremely in depth tour.
It was 36 years ago ffs and you're stunned a popular tourist attraction has improved in that time!
Completely transformed rather than 'improved' as a visitor experience
I am a Londoner, born in St John's wood in 1929. I just love walking around London with you. As I am living in Sydney Australia, I do miss MY London, so a very Big Thank You.🙏🙏🇦🇺🦜🐨🦘
We are so glad to travel with you virtually!
Thank you so much, MsBeryl :)
We're you living in St John's during the War?
It will break your heart if you saw the state of London and it's boroughs just remember your London as it was back in the day.
The Yeoman Warders are amazing. When I visited the Tower in 2015, two stood at the chapel and explained what the chapel was used as and who were buried underneath. At the end, they kindly reminded everyone that you had to mind your step when going outside.
Should any woman fall, she was reminded that these men were strong and would gladly catch them. Should any man fall, he would be reminded that the ground was rather hard.
"That's sexist!" -- Someone, probably. 😂
😆
🤣
Good one 😂👍
Excellent tour, thank you. Having visited the Tower on three occasions, this is the most informative visit of all. It's really great when someone from a different country takes such an interest in British history.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ruclips.net/user/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
agreed very detail indeed. I've been there twice and I only briefly knew the history. I knew more of inside than outside. thank you, interesting tour indeed❤
I was there once. It was interesting.
There are alot of Monarchist fans in the US. ❤️
This is the best tour of the Tower I’ve ever seen, thanks so much. I especially enjoyed the interiors, which no one ever shows.

That was excellent, thank you. I am a wheelchair user, as such I would not be able to access, many of the areas which you covered, so without you I would have missed so much ❤
So glad that we could bring a bit of the Tower of London to you.
I ditto you
I’m in the same situation, I would love to visit more of the historical sites we have but for access reasons this is more or less an impossibility. So thank you so much for giving such a detailed and informative view of this. From the comfort of my sofa I can immerse myself in our fascinating history, I will be looking out for more of your content now 😀
I’m in a wheelchair in the US. Thank You
What about them bionic legs what the US army are testing out people in wheelchairs can actually stand up and walk in them?? Probably too expensive though but hopefully in another 5-10 years they price will drop so you can afford them..
Margaret, you're voice is so calming.
Thank you!
This is the most lovely and charming tour of the Tower I've ever seen.

Thanks so much. I'm a disabled EMT/FIREFIGHTER & bedridden. I spend a lot of time watching vids, touring the world and places I'd have loved to see. This is marvelous.
I do have a suggestion. When you walked by several displays mentioning the items, you didn't take time to show them. Even just 3 seconds or so would be lovely to see things. The material used in the beds, weaponry, coins, helmets, etc. I'll check out other vids to see if I can find them.
Keep up the great work & climbing... Look forward to seeing your other tours.
Delighted you enjoyed it
Thanks for watching
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Maeve, and that I ca help you travel virtually. You are also right about the camera work - this was my first video so hopefully you'll see the improvement in my others :) ruclips.net/p/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT
Thank you for your service ❤
I just found this channel and I'm so excited. London is my number one place on my bucket list to visit, mainly because of the Tower of London. I've just felt drawn to it ever since I was a little girl. I'm an American, and I think our history is so boring. English history is my favorite by far.
Welcome to the channel, Justine!
So glad you liked this one, Justine! I moved from the US to study British history in London so you and I are cut from the same cloth :)
Hope you get to visit us soon :)
I'm British and I do love our history. I have alot of American friends and they are all interested in our history. I also live in a very historic town. It's beautiful
I'm an American who has been to England on extended trips three times. I was interested in British history long before that. The Tower is among my favorite places to visit. My first trip was in 1993 and I was there again in 2001. My last visit was in 2008, when I went with my 5 year old (at the time) son. He still remembers the Yeoman Warder who was out tour guide. I hope he remains interested in the history as I have all these years.
These walking tours online, are great. I really appreciate watching them. I am wheelchair disabled in US. Love to see some from Italy and Austria/ Germany. Sandrigham Home of Kings & Queens, also. Haven't seen any online.
We are so glad to share them with you, Kay! Sandringham has no public access, alas :( Our European channel may be of interest to you, though: ruclips.net/channel/UCDqyEmKOSkMbSYuLI3XTSBQvideos
I could stay there all day long just looking the details all those ancient things, oh gosh so incredible. Hope I can visit the tower one day
We hope you can, too, Kelas! Thanks for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
You've got a wicked sense of humour. When talking about Tower Hill being the place where most executions took place, you said: beheading there in a minute! 🤣 37:20
I'd like to say that was on purpose - haha!
OMG
This Lady does an excellent Job of Bringing UK History to Life; I'll never get there; but love the History it represents.
Thanks for watching, Robby. You might also enjoy Margaret's tours of Hampton Court Palace (ruclips.net/video/vVxqCUnX9HA/видео.html), The Palace of Westminster (ruclips.net/video/nPD2nJjqenI/видео.html) and Dover Castle (ruclips.net/video/9apHooK3PPE/видео.html)
Thank you for your lovely comment, Robby! I am glad I can help you visit the UK virtually :)
I have been to London many times in my younger years. In truth, it was my favorite city to visit, and the Tower and Westminster Abbey were my favorite places in the world to just wander around and soak up all the history. Just incredible! Margaret gives a really nice tour, informative but relatable and personable. I will definitely be looking at some of her other videos. I can only imagine how sore her feet and legs are at the end of the day from all that walking and climbing!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Teri! You can find all of my videos on this playlist :) - ruclips.net/p/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT

It was so unexpected wonderful! I had no idea and simply stumbled upon this. What began a quick look turned into a perfectly, enjoyable evening. It was brilliant! 🇺🇸
This was the best virtual tour online I have ever seen. I visited London in the late 80's and would love to go back one day though its getting less and less possible. You brought back many wonderful memories . Thank you

It's my pleasure! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you so much. I visited a few years ago and you showed a couple of places that were closed at the time, and missed only one place I can think of. I didn't pay that much attention to all the history trying to see it all but your narration filled in the blanks. Excellent tour!

We did not see everything, when there. I refused to rush. As soon as the world gets back to sanity, we want to go back, and the Tower will be on our list. You did an excellent job and sharing history. I highly recommend reading about the history, it adds to the fullness of the visit. Thank you for sharing.
We are glad you enjoyed the tour, Judith. We also hope to show you around London when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here www.freetoursbyfoot.com/london-tours/. Bookmark us :)

I walked through some of the Towers in 89. We went to England and Scotland on family vacation for almost 3 weeks. We spent most of our time in and around Stratford upon Avon. We spent 3 days in Scotland. And our last 3 days were in London. The jewels and clothing were so pretty.
Thank you for sharing, Claudia! Glad we could bring you back virtually :)

I didn't intend to watch this but I was looking and saw it on my television & was completely engrossed in the stories. You are a marvelous tour guide and storyteller. I can't remember spending a better evening and enjoying it so very much. Your voice is perfectly suited for storytelling as it has an almost hypnotic quality. thank you from the U.S. for a wonderful Tour. I'll definitely be looking forward to your next Tour. 🇺🇸🙏💕🇬🇧

Oh, what a lovely comment. Thank you so very much :) xx
Excellent tour! I visited the Tower in 2001 for an afternoon, and now I see how much I missed! I hope to return to the UK when the world settles down. Although I’m American, half my ancestors were English. I love English history and can’t wait to come back!

When I visited the Tower grounds in 2017, all of the buildings were open, including Beauchamp Tower, so it's interesting to see that it's closed, and not the first video that shows it closed. By the way, I loved your video. You've done your homework. I see in the comments you did address the location of executions. I spent a whole day on the grounds so I did get to go into every building. Just amazing history. And I have a picture of two of the ravens. I stood only about a foot apart from them. They are beautiful!
Thanks for watching, Dionna! You may also enjoy Margaret’s tours of other royal palaces: ruclips.net/p/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, Dionna. I agree - the raven are gorgeous!
As one likely to never be fortunate enough to take a trip to the UK,I must tell you how very much I appreciate the great effort you put into this video! My parents visited London in 1969 and it was the “Summer of Love” and London was the swinging place to be then! And I had friends as a child whose mother was from England and we had so much fun reading the Yearbooks.. I think thats what they were called, I’m 63 now! But they were like annual hardbound volumes of funny cartoon strips- we loved them! Do they still sell them? Anyway, my parents had such a great time! I, myself am an ardent history freak, and I’ m on a “binge “ lately to learn everything about Roman , English and Germanic histories from the beginnings and through the royal lines. I cant get enough ! Thanks fir a superb tour- I’m saving this one to rewatch over & over…
Looking forward to watching more great tours and your videos now that I’m a subbed fan!

Thank you, Margaret, for this wonderful tour of the Tower. I'm in the USA and cannot travel due to illness. You've made it able for me to check off one of the items on my "bucket list" and I must say, your voice is very likable and friendly, helping me enjoy it even more. I'm subbed.

Monarchy should be abolished now the Queen has passed away..
Just an outstanding tour!
All Tudor history enthusiasts have an amazing view of the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula like no other. So many famous Tudor characters are buried beneath the floor of this chapel as their final resting place.
The views of all sides and interior of the chapel is brilliant!
Our pleasure.
Every time I visit London I have to go to the Tower, my favorite place. Thank you. You did a marvelous job and really enjoyed it. Being in lock down, sick or snow day - this is a fabulous way of traveling and sight seeing. Well done !
So glad we could take you travelling, Lisa!
Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This was a FANTASTIC tour! Like a previous commenter, i have to say that your tour is so much better than I’ve seen from the professionals. You don’t add a ton of extra chat or anecdotes that have nothing to do with your wander through the tower, and whatever you have to say is succinct and well-spoken. I really, REALLY enjoyed this.

Thank you for a wonderful tour! I always wanted to go to England & tour as many historical sites & palaces as I could. Now that walking for more than 2-3 minutes is my limit, I'm glad that people like you do the walking for me. You also have a great voice explaining everything w/o wasting time give personal stories or giggling (like so many others do). I just found your channel today & subbed. I hope to watch many more tours that you voice. Great job!

Thank you this was incredible..I was at the Tower at the beginning of the pandemic and didn't get to see everything including the White Tower this has completed for me what I sadly missed on the day I was there...awesome. I did enjoy the day with no crowds so was special for other reasons.

An immensely enjoyable tour made even better by the very pretty Margaret who speaks with excellent clarity and easily understood. How fortunate that the whole establishment survived unscathed by the Bombings during WW2. So much history within this place, one can only wish that the walls (or Ravens could talk). Thankyou for a very entertaining hours tour of one of the most notorious buildings in the world. From: Will (Australia) ♔ 🇦🇺

The ROYALS we're NAZI SUPPORTERS haven't you seen the old pics of them doing HEIL HITLER SALUTES??? And don't you find it funny all LONDON was bombed and the palace didn't??? That's the first thing you'd bomb and destroy isn't it to try and break the spirit of the natives.And the ROYALTY should be abolished now the Queen has passed away because the others are absolute useless parasites..
It would be great if you would talk about accessibility for the handicapped or those mobility challenged in your walks and tours! Thank you!
This is a good idea! Maybe something we can add to the description for past videos.
Thank you so much for this. I was able to see some of this as a young woman in the 1980s. I think at that time it was not as open or as much of a historical museum quality place. I would love to think I will be able to travel again, but it brings me joy that you’ve opened up this view.

Hi Marguerite that was so interesting I came to tower of London about 3 year , but I've missed half of it judging buy your video which was so interesting and so informative , what an amazing job you have thankyou Margaret ,from Beverley Tyne and wear
Great video. Small correction. While Henry VIII had the Queen’s House built, it was not completed at the time of Anne Boleyn’s execution. She stayed in royal apartments of the medieval palace that stood between the White Tower and the other towers where parts of the medieval palace still remain. Henry had the apartments refurbished for Anne’s coronation, and as you said she stayed there before her execution.
Research has shown that Anne’s and some of the other executions within the Tower actually took place between the White Tower and the Waterloo Barracks- which you showed as you left the St Peter ad Vincula.
Thank you for the detail on Anne Boleyn's time at the Tower :)
And yes, I have heard about the theory that the actual execution site was in between the WB and the WT. I know some of the HRP team disagree so I went with the traditional but perhaps I should've mentioned both!
I am pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and info with us!
@@margaretstockton-davies3828 Great video. I have been to London a couple of times but never was able to visit the tower. Lady Anne Shelton was my 13th great grandmother. She was Anne Boleyn before marrying John Shelton , and she was the aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn. She cared for Elizabeth and Mary at the tower and in Norfolk as well. I have always loved Tudor history.
@@kshelton
My great grandmother is Lady Rachael Hays Beauchamp. My great grandfather is Collins which there is a signature Collins in the tower. They must of meant at the Tower of London in the Beauchamp Tower!!! Then migrated to the United States. My grandfather Collins they lived in Denver, Colorado. I am related to all the Royals. Robert de Bruce on my father's O'Neil DNA. My Collins DNA is King Louis 16th. Both of course go to the Kings of Egypt. I have been twice to my Beauchamp Tower. I live in California. I am related to the other Boleyn sister.
I am 76 never too old to learn something new ☺

I had the opportunity to visit this TOWER WHILE BEING OUT... ON SCHOOL EXCURSION WITH THE PUPILS... DURING MY TEACHING PRACTICE ...AND WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED TO ACTUALLY ASSIMILATE THE EVENTS OF
" BRITISH HISTORY " Which was one of my subjects that I studied during MY SECONDARY SCHOOL YEARS !!!!
Thanks for the excellent tour! Very interesting, well narrated, and perfectly paced. I was fortunate to tour the Tower and experience the Ceremony of the Keys in person in 2002.
Thanks for watching, Emily. You might also enjoy Margaret's tours of Hampton Court Palace (ruclips.net/video/vVxqCUnX9HA/видео.html), The Palace of Westminster (ruclips.net/video/nPD2nJjqenI/видео.html) and Dover Castle (ruclips.net/video/9apHooK3PPE/видео.html)
Thank you so much, Emily!!

You left out the block and axe in the White Tower. 🪓
totally enjoyed this tour and most of all no adverts spoiling the immersion
Glad you liked it!
And again, Margaret - You're the best !
Thank you so much :)
Thank you Margaret great video. Love the tower of London x
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Carly. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ruclips.net/user/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more of Margaret where this came from.
Wonderful tour!! Thank you!!
You have produced a most excellent and thorough tour of the Tower. Although I've visited several times, you had access to areas I was not able to see, which was a delight. As a professional gemologist and student of the British Crown Jewels, I hope you will accept the following note as a worthwile addition to your vast historical knowledge. Only Cullinan I an II - the greater Stars of Africa - are part of the Crown Jewels. HM Queen Elizabeth II personally owns numbers III through IX, all privately purchased from Asscher's by her great grandfather King Edward VII and inherited from her grandmother, Queen Mary, each set among various brooches, necklaces and even one ring. Ciao for now!
We love getting extra tidbits like this! Thank you for sharing :) I bet your job is absolutely fascinating!
Wow, that was amazing. Thank you!
This is amazing! Absolutely SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you so very much for an incredible tour! I felt like I was right next to you in person! My family migrated from Bucks Co in 1635 to America and your video made me proud to be of English descent! Please keep up the wonderful videos! My favorite royalty is Lady Jane Gray….

Such wonderful history your country has
Such an amazing tour! Full of information and the voice is pretty calm and sweet! Thank u so much!
I'm so glad you liked it, Mariana!
I visited in June 2006. I travel with Corporate America and toured the Tower with them. I’m so busy with keeping them together (think of chaperoning kids!) that I didn’t get to really listen to our guide and take in everything. Many things that you’ve shown, we didn’t even go through. So this video gave me so much information and insight!! Thank you!!!
Our pleasure, Cass. Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ruclips.net/user/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Thank you for making it feel like I was walking through it myself. I loved looking at the stonework and the furnishings. I don't know if I will ever get there, but thanks to you, I have "experienced" it, just like any other tourist. :)
Thanks for watching, Jane. You might also enjoy Margaret's tours of Hampton Court Palace (ruclips.net/video/vVxqCUnX9HA/видео.html), The Palace of Westminster (ruclips.net/video/nPD2nJjqenI/видео.html) and Dover Castle (ruclips.net/video/9apHooK3PPE/видео.html)
It's my absolute pleasure, Jane. Thank you for watching :)
I love the automatic subtitles; 'beefeaters' becomes 'bee feeders'. And the 'yeomen warders' becomes the 'omen waters,' and then a little later, 'human warters.'
Just love seeing round these amazing old places...love historic buildings and places...
Thanks for watching, Sharon! You may also enjoy Margaret’s tours of other royal palaces: ruclips.net/p/PLo-M-WVj_1AgnS93gTRHiJWxsgLzCt4CT or her recent Great Fire of London video: ruclips.net/video/yN9R2MmvVNI/видео.html

Enjoyed this very much. And with no waiting in line! The tour guide has a lovely, soothing voice and her commentary is nicely straightforward.

Living in the Tower grounds would be (in my book)absolute coolness of the highest order.Id frickin love it !
Right?! Although I bet I'd convince myself it's haunted and be too afraid to move at night...
superb tour and very interesting history ,, thank you
Thank you, Peter. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Margaret, this was a very enjoyable tour, thanks.... First time I've seen one of your videos, it had lots of information and great use of video and still images . Loved the "I think King Henry the VIII designed his own armor---Hmmm" priceless. Your narration was music the ear. Thanks for your time and work.... Note: The Shard is one of the best looking new buildings in London, well done.
You are so welcome!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you for a brilliant tour! As a Londoner, I’ve been to the tower many times but You made it all come flooding back. Thanks again

What a contrast mixing the old with the new . I doubt it very much if the gherkin and the other modern day buildings will last the 995 years as the tower . Such a shame that traitors gate is no longer in use. I’ve whole list of politicians past and present who I would love to see pass through the gate and then pay the price of their treacherous crimes . Very informative thank you very much for the upload.
This made me laugh out loud - I have a similar list myself ;) Glad you enjoyed it!
Good comment sport.
Along with Prince harry
The Tower of London as you say was to keep people out.. like all castles it was also designed to dominate those who lived in the surrounding countryside... A great presentation... I was also told by someone years (chief education officer at Colchester Castle) ago that the White Tower copies the footprint of Colchester castle... This had a semi circular part of the footprint which used the foundation of an earlier Roman temple.
Excellent content and excellent tour guide
So elegant and so descriptive thank you for this tour .
Fortunately it was a pleasure.

Absolutely loved this tour!! ❤Already watched several of your tours; this and Hampton court Palace are my favorites so far!!
Could you please do a Hever Castle tour?!? 😊
Thank you, Christy! And YES - Hever Castle is on my list. I am hoping to film it in April and have it released in the summer (fingers crossed). My next one will be Edinburgh Castle :)
Awesome!! 😮
Can’t wait for both of those!! ❤
Deve ser uma loucura andar nesses castelos magníficos. Eu fico imaginando como deveria ser na época que este ou estes castelos foram construídos. Como deveria ser esse lugar.
