Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

Everything was perfect, but it could have been a failure because when we arrived at the starting point there was nothing that helped us find where to meet our guide.

The London Eye gave us great views - we enjoyed it. We were put in our space with a large group and that was not ideal. It was hard to move around to see different areas due to so many people taking up most of the window space and places to sit. We were not able to do our river cruise. The boat captain said the operation of the combo ticket had changed and we could only take the boat one way to the Tower of London. I was disappointed to not do this part of the ticket and to forfeit my money since we were unable to reschedule in the short time we were there. Maybe I should give this a lower rating since it was not really good!

From booking the experience I was kept updated with information on the app and was well informed on where to go. Once there it was so simple, queuing for the London Eye was quick and seamless and after on the river cruise was exactly that, a cruise! Would definitely recommend, staff friendly and great day out (helped that the weather was fabulous!)

The London Eye is good with the skip line, good service, but the River cruise ticket was confusing me. First, I don't know how to get to the entrance to the cruise, the ticket is not clear what is the cruise name and it was only one way ticket. I got drop off at Greenwich which I am not expected, so I have to found the way the get back the hotel.

It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.

The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.

The tour itself and the tour provider were excellent. However, it was not what was advertised. My tour took place on a Monday. According to the tour guide, there was never a Change of Guard on a Monday to observe, however, this was a key part of the tour title and even in reading the small print it said that it did take place on a Monday. Advertising a 'Tower of London Guided Tour', which is in the title and in the small print, is false advertising. We were escorted to the opening ceremony, which was incredible, and then given 50 minutes to look round the tower. Anyone who knows the tower will know this is not enough time, and there was no guide to take us around. Since, for us, the Tower visit was the primary aspect of the tour, this was incredibly disappointing and not explained in the small print. Finally, I wrote to Headout 7 days ago detaling my complaint, and have not heard anything back. I would caution anyone against booking with them in the future.

This was the most fabulous 4-hour tour. Our guide was Natalie. She was attentive to every single person on the tour and made sure we always got the best viewing spots. Our ticket included a Thames ride in addition to the Crown Jewels, Tower of London and changing of the guard at Buckinghma Palace. I truly feel your visit of London would not be complete without it.

They were calling when I was on a ship not able to take a phone call but ended up getting the info via voice maile time was earlier. I'm good. Once in London I get a phone call. I said I got the message time change and the Rep was no I had to be a different day . As soon as I said I can't do that all of a sudden she say she can't hear me trouble on the line . Maybe but I could hear her. She said call back the number I just called on. I did ended up being a phone tree and I pressed the option to call me back which didn't happened. I'm assuming it's cancelled. The following day another Rep calls to tell me about the time change which doesn't work now since I assumed you all cancelled on me. She said she would refund my money which better happen. This was not on me and please do the right thing.

We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral. She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

St Paul's is wonderfool piece of rebeliation of the architect and I enjoyed the visit. Especially dome. The stairs are quite difficult (narrow and high number of it). We had a bit problem with the electronic ticket but we were not the first and not the last I suppose (we had to let them print so do it before visit). There was not a lot of people so we had time and good oporutnity to explore everything.

The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I didn't give a 5 star rating only because entering the Cathedral took a long time at the desk. We purchased tickets in advance and I had them available on my phone. However, the gentleman at the desk had to look at my phone, take pictures of three different sections of my phone tickets, and then finally admit us. Four families that arrived with NO tickets, purchased and entered before we did. I wouldn't repurchase tickets again. Slower process. It took 15 minutes and we were already on a time crunch.

I was advised to print ticket. This proved difficult so I didn't as a qr code is normally accepted at venues. This particular qr code was not acceptable at the venue (why not) so I had to screen shot, email this to St Pauls. All the while with the queue building up behind me. Very patient staff at St Paul's. They couldn't do enough to sort this.

The Crown Jewels at the Tower of London offer a dazzling glimpse into British royal history. Featuring crowns, swords, and scepters still used in royal ceremonies today. It’s like walking into a real-life treasure chest! Visit and get up close to the history and splendor behind Britain’s royal traditions.

Where are they located?

The British Crown Jewels are located in the Jewel House at the Tower of London, next to the St. Peter Ad Vincula Royal Chapel and the Fusilier Museum. You can see them under armed guard as part of your visit to the Tower.

How to access the Crown Jewels?

Access to the Crown Jewels is included with all Tower of London tickets.

Why visit the Jewel House

  • Centuries of history: The collection’s most ancient surviving artefact is the Coronation Spoon, used for anointing since the 12th century.
  • Culturally significant: Many of the items are still used in royal ceremonies—linking past and present monarchies. 
  • Over 140 royal regalia: There are over 140 items in the collection, including crowns, sceptres, orbs, swords, maces, altar and banqueting plates, objects dating from medieval to modern times. 
  • 23,000+ gemstones: The collection includes pieces set with 23,578 gemstones, including Cullinan I and II, Koh-i-Noor, Black Prince's Ruby, Stuart Sapphire, and St Edward's Sapphire​​. 
  • They're basically priceless: Experts estimate the collection's minimum value at around $4 billion, though cultural significance makes them effectively priceless!
  • One of London’s top draws: The Jewel House exhibits attract around 2.5 million visitors each year. 
  • Home to the Crown Jewels since 1661: Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1661, the newly-made coronation regalia for Charles II has been on public view in the Tower’s Jewel House.

Things to know before booking Crown Jewels tickets

  • Access to the Crown Jewels is included in all Tower of London tickets. You do not need to buy separate tickets to see them.
  • It is advised to book your tickets at least a month in advance to view the Crown Jewels on your preferred dates, especially during the peak season.
  • The Jewel House, which houses the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, has level access. There is a moving walkway alongside the Crown Jewels display. At the end of the moving walkway, there is a platform lift that provides access to a raised platform for extended viewing. However, this lift is not suitable for mobility scooters.
  • As a working collection, some jewels, such as the Imperial State Crown or the Sovereign's Sceptre, may be temporarily removed from display when they are required for royal ceremonies like coronations or the State Opening of Parliament. Also, individual pieces might be taken off display for essential conservation work or cleaning. 

Highlights of the Crown Jewels

Tower of London Crown Jewels

St Edward's Crown (1661)

This solid-gold coronation crown was made in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II to replace the medieval crown (said to have belonged to King Edward the Confessor) that had been melted down. It weighs 2.23 kg and is adorned with 444 semi-precious stones. It is used only for the actual crowning moment (then replaced by a lighter state crown) and was last used for crowning Charles III in 2023.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Imperial State Crown (1937)

Created for King George VI's coronation in 1937, this is the crown that the monarch wears on State occasions like the annual Opening of Parliament. It was made to replace the crown made for Queen Victoria in 1838 and is set with over 3,000 stones, including the Black Prince's Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Cullinan II diamond.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross

During the coronation the monarch is presented with the Orb and the Sceptre with Cross, which represent their powers and responsibilities. While it dates back to 1661, the sceptre was modified in 1910 for George V with the addition of the Cullinan I diamond. It's the largest colourless cut diamond in the world, at 530.2 carats.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

The Sovereign’s Orb

The Orb is also presented to the monarch at the coronation and symbolizes Christian dominion. This solid gold globe was also made in 1661 and is topped with a cross. It's set with over 650 diamonds and four large pearls once owned by Elizabeth I.

Tower of London Crown Jewels

Queen Mary’s Crown (1911)

Queen Mary’s Crown is a consort crown within the Crown Jewels. Made for the coronation of Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, this Art Deco-inspired crown features eight half-arches instead of the typical four or two. The silver-gilt frame is set with approximately 2,200 diamonds, including Cullinan III, Cullinan IV, and the Koh-i-Noor diamond, though all were later removed.

The Coronation Spoon

The Coronation Spoon is the oldest artifact in the collection, dating back to the 12th century. It is used to anoint the new monarch with holy oil during the coronation ceremony, cementing the spiritual legitimacy of their rule. Unlike much of the royal regalia that was destroyed by Parliament, the Coronation Spoon survived because it was privately held. 

Sovereign's Ring (1831)

The Sovereign's Ring was specifically crafted for the coronation of King William IV in 1831. It features a prominent octagonal sapphire as its centerpiece and the Cross of Saint George in rubies, and 14 surrounding diamonds. During coronations, the Archbishop places it on the fourth finger of the sovereign's right hand during the investiture.

History of the Crown Jewels

The British Crown Jewels are a collection steeped in over a millennium of history. For centuries, these symbols of monarchy were primarily seen during grand coronations and significant state ceremonies.

The Tower itself has played a crucial role in safeguarding these treasures. Following the English Civil War, when the original regalia was largely melted down and sold, the newly fashioned Crown Jewels, including St Edward's Crown (commissioned for Charles II's coronation in 1661) and the Sovereign's Orb, were placed within the Tower's walls for safekeeping. This was proved necessary, as demonstrated by the theft attempt by Colonel Thomas Blood in 1671 who nearly succeeded in stealing the jewels.

Over the centuries, the jewels were moved to various strongholds within the Tower. It wasn't until the 1990s that the Jewel House, as seen today, was opened to the public. Now, visitors can see the ancient 12th-century Coronation Spoon, the Cullinan diamonds incorporated into various pieces, and Queen Mary's Crown (used by Queen Camilla during her coronation). 

Attempted theft of the Crown Jewels

In May 1671, Colonel Thomas Blood disguised himself as a clergyman and, with accomplices, attempted to steal the jewels displayed then in the Martin Tower. They overpowered the 77-year-old Keeper of the Jewels, Talbot Edwards. However, their plan was foiled when Edwards' son unexpectedly returned, and guards swiftly apprehended Blood and his remaining accomplices. King Charles II himself interrogated Blood and, surprisingly, pardoned him. 

The Koh-i-Noor

The Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian, is one of the world's most controversial diamonds. Believed to have originated in the Kollur Mine in India, it passed through the hands of various rulers and dynasties including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal emperors, reportedly adorning Shah Jahan's Peacock Throne. In 1739, the Persian ruler Nadir Shah invaded Delhi and acquired the diamond, giving it its current name.

Following Nadir Shah's assassination, the Koh-i-Noor changed hands among Afghan rulers before reaching Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the early 19th century. After the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, the East India Company annexed Punjab, and the Koh-i-Noor was ceded to Queen Victoria. Since then, it has been part of the British Crown Jewels, set in the crowns of various queens. Ownership of the Koh-i-Noor remains a subject of historical and diplomatic dispute, with India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan all having laid claim to the diamond.

Visitor tips

  • Head to the Jewel House first: Be among the first in line and walk directly to the Jewel House upon entry around 9am and avoid large crowds. Later in the day, the wait can exceed an hour—even with timed tickets.
  • Visit during just before closing time: If you can't arrive early, try visiting an hour before the Tower closes. The last hour sees a sharp drop in visitors, especially outside peak season. Just be sure you’re inside the Tower gates by last entry—they don’t let in latecomers.
  • Don’t miss the hidden conveyor: There’s a moving walkway in front of the display to keep visitors flowing but don’t miss the parallel walkway behind it. You can walk back around and rejoin the non-moving area at the rear for a much longer, stationary view of the jewels.
  • Look for the highlights: Don’t miss the Cullinan I diamond, the largest clear-cut diamond in the world, in the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross. You can spot a tiny replica of the original rough stone next to it. Other highlights are the Black Prince’s Ruby (actually a spinel) in the Imperial State Crown and the 800-year-old Coronation Spoon.
  • Book early-access tour: VIP early-access tours (before public opening) let you view the collection nearly alone.
  • Talk to a Warder: Yeoman Warders (or Beefeaters) stationed inside the Jewel House are highly knowledgeable and can answer specific questions. You can ask which crowns have been altered recently or which items were replicated for the coronation of King Charles III! They may also point out tiny alterations (like the removal of the Koh-i-Noor from Queen Mary's Crown for Charles's coronation).

Super convenient to book from home. I would recommend it to anyone. Otherwise the queues can be quite long or you don't even get in. Everything worked great and the tower is really very interesting and worth seeing.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

We did the early access( 8:30 am on 3/1) to the Crown Jewels with a Beefeater. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the area /the reason for the ravens/ exploring the different areas ,and it was nice skipping the lines, too! I would highly recommend this tour / tour company!

This allows you to have a pass for several visits to sites and to plan your program simply. Our only disappointment concerned the tourist bus: the service provider included in the pass offered three not very practical circuits. We waited almost 1 hour to take the green route, and after a quarter of an hour it stopped for its break...

We chose 3 because we only had 1 day. It was great because it did not require reservations for Westminster Abbey which was sold out for the day.
