Ceremony of the Keys
Any tips on getting tickets to this activity at the Tower of London? Fodors London 2001 p. 99 suggests sending a request with SASE to London. What is the postage from UK back to US and how do I purchase that postage in pounds in the US?

At your post office in the US you purchase International Reply Coupons which you enclose in the mailing envelope along with a large self-addressed <BR>return envelope. There is some <BR>confusion over whether you should enclose one coupon or two, I've read different instructions on different websites. I believe when I did it I enclosed two just to be safe. <BR>When you write you must provide alternate dates for seeing ceremony as well as the names, ages, and addresses of the people in your party.Allow about 6 weeks for a reply. <BR>www.tower-of-london.com <BR>www.hrp.org.uk <BR>www.camelotintl.com/tower_site/ <BR>index2.html <BR>

I followed the directions from this website with the two coupons and received my tickets within 2 weeks. I specified 3 different dates and got one of the dates I requested. You will also need each person's name, address and their age. They send student tickets for children with their ages on them (they did on my tickets). I was supprised to get them back so quickly. My tickets are for June so you can write several months in advance. Hope this helps.

I believe two is what they want. I followed an instruction to send "a" Reply Coupon and while I got the tickets, I also got a letter saying how it costs them alot to send these tickets, a subtle hint that one was not enough? Looking at the postage on the envelope, it was little bit more than one Reply Coupon worth. I think the guides describing how to obtain the tickets should be very specific about the number of Coupons needed.
