This is the top of the entrance to the King's Manor. A number of Kings visited this site, Henry the 8th being one of the them. We were told this is where he found out that his, 5th wife, Catherine Howard. was cheating on him. Given Henry's disposition I'm guessing that she wasn't the smarted head in the basket. She was executed after 18 months of marriage.

This is the Charter House attached to the Minster. Another great ceiling. There's also a nice museum detailing the Gothic cathedral that was originally here.

York Minster was spared some of the destruction of the Cromwell era because someone on the inside was from York and he told the Reformists, lay off York.

The White Tower, which we think of as Thee Tower, but there is actually a Bloody Tower and a Torturer Tower. I think I saw a Taco Tuesday Tower, but I digress.

One guy who wasn't happy to see the Welcome to the London Tower sign, Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex. He was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth the 1st, until he wasn't. Last person to be beheaded in the Tower, February 25, 1601.

We were greeted by this guy when we crossed under the walkway to the Tower. There is a large part of the original Roman wall that is still preserved from when this was Londonium.

We tourists were delighted to see this sign, in earlier times it was probably not as popular, if you were going to lose your head for instance.

The Old London City Hall. This is what Google calls it. It looks pretty modern to me, but maybe they've moved to a new City Hall.

Cleopatra's Needle with Sphinx. This is an ancient Egyptian obelisk, given to the British people for kicking Napoleon in the pants...and out of Egypt. Having been to the British Museum, it looks like a lot of other stuff may have "fallen of the truck" and landed in London
