See The Tower of London
The Tower of London was home to the kings and queens of England for many years. The Tower of London was a prison and many famous prisoners were held there including Sir Walter Ralegh – he was held in the Bloody Tower for 13 years but made use of his time by writing The History of the World (published in 1614) and growing tobacco on Tower Green.
The Tower of London held prisoners from the middle and upper classes so there are no dungeons. Many tourists love to book into a hotel near the tower of London for their unforgettable vacation away.
