View of Tower of London. The green patch of grass was once a moat that was 15 meters deep.
Inside the Tower of LondonOn the Right hand side is the Thames.
This is the gate a traitor would have been brought through to the Tower.
A mural on the White Tower due to restoration.
A royal Church which is still used is to the Left while the Crown Jewels are housed on the Right. The Church on the Left is where the remains of Queen Anne Boleyn are kept under the alter.
These apartments were built for Queen Anne Boleyn. However, her apartments were not finished before she was beheaded. So technically speaking, she never occupied the apartments King Henry VIII built for her as a wedding present.

She was fortunate to have a private beheading unlike the public beheading in the square outside the Tower.
