' It's a lovely place to live, really, for London. In fact I'm sure there's nowhere better to live in than the Tower.'
(CHIEF YEOMAN WARDER VARLEY)
In the 900 years since it was built, the Tower of London has been many things to many people: fortress palace, barracks, prison, tourist attraction. armoury, mint, jewell house, zoo ... But, incongruous though it may seem, the great stone edifice is also home for the Governor, the officers of the Tower, and the 37 yeomen warders with their families. What sort of people are they, these inhabitants of the Tower? What's the world's greatest tourist attraction like to live in? And what's it really like to be a yeoman of the guard?
Jessica Mayer decided to find out. and invites you to join her and meet the residents Inside the Tower.
