Step inside nearly a thousand years of history for a truly unforgettable private experience at HM Tower of London. This extraordinary evening invites you to explore one of the world’s most iconic landmarks after hours, when its ancient walls fall silent and its secrets come alive. Your experience begins with a private viewing of the Jewel House, offering rare access to the Crown Jewels in an intimate setting. Marvel at symbols of monarchy and power that have shaped British history, revealed without the crowds.
Enjoy drinks within the White Tower, the oldest part of the fortress and a masterpiece of Norman architecture. Surrounded by stone walls that have borne witness to kings, prisoners, and intrigue, this is a setting few will ever experience. The evening then concludes with an elegant dinner in the New Armouries, where history and hospitality come together. As dusk falls, the Ceremony of the Keys is held, a living tradition that has taken place every night for over 700 years. Led by a Yeoman Warder, this historic “lock-down” ritual is a powerful and moving moment unchanged through centuries, wars, and reigns connecting you directly to the Tower’s enduring past.
An evening of privilege, pageantry, and atmosphere, this is the Tower of London as very few will ever see it. Due to the cobbles and uneven surfaces in the palace, we recommend flat shoes.
Ceremony of the Keys: 9:20pm – 10:05pm – There is to be no movement around the Tower of London during this time due to the ceremony and therefore guests are unable to leave the banqueting suite.
Please note, clients receive a personal invite for this event and no registration is available.
