Tower of London Photos

The Tower of London is one of the world’s most famous fortresses and has seen service as royal palace, prison, armoury and even a zoo. The fortress was constructed over 900 years ago and expanded by many medieval kings. Situated in central London just a stones throw from the River Thames, the Tower of London is the one of the city's premier attractions. With so much on offer it is no wonder that it is so popular and you can find Tower of London pictures on many websites.

Photographing attractions like Tower of London involves mastering at least two techniques: architecture and landscapes, either natural or created by a man. And sometimes even indoor photography is needed when you have access to interiors. Tower of London pictures on this website were shot outside.

The best time of day to take photos of buildings and castles is either the early morning or the evening when the light is coming from the side rather than directly overhead. As with any other type of photography you have to ask yourself what it is about this specific building that you like and feature only that. Sometimes this will mean taking a photo of the whole building; sometimes it will mean focusing on close-ups. Our Tower of London images offer a mixture of both.
