Royal Beasts return to the Tower of London

Wild and exotic animals were kept at the Tower for the entertainment and curiosity of the royal household and visitors for over 600 years. Kings and queens kept these extraordinary creatures as symbols of power. Visitors can discover the amazing tales of how animals were fed, watered and housed, and compare how animals and prisoners were kept at the Tower. The experience will include displays along the recently restored and opened north wall walk and Brick Tower where numerous interesting exhibits will be included.

The Tower of London is the world’s most famous Fortress and Britain’s most visited paid for historic site. Home to see the priceless Crown Jewels and legendary ravens that strut in the grounds, the Tower also has a stunning new permanent exhibition showcasing 500 years of royal arms and armour – Fit for a King: making this a truly unique visit and great value for money.

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built.

We receive no funding from the Government or the Crown, so we depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.

These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

We believe in four principles. Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today’s world. Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work.
