Overview

Put the Tower of London in its often gruesome context on this two mile riverside walk from Monument Station to Traitors’ Gate.

• Spot Roman ruins, find out about the 10 infamous executions here – including Anne Boleyn’s at the hands of an expert swordsman from France – and meet a brazen thief who almost escaped with the Crown Jewels
• Hear from producer James Holdstock, an author of historical fiction set at the Tower
• Do it all a little over an hour or linger at stops along the way with complete control over when you start and finish
• Get unlimited use before your booking date and after it

Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive a ticket with instructions and a unique code listed under “Before You Go”. Then simply install the VoiceMap app and enter your code.

The app displays directions to the starting point, and when you’re in the right place, just pop in your headphones and tap start. VoiceMap has automatic GPS playback, with turn-by-turn directions. It also works offline.
