We weren't meant to be going to the Tower of London - we had planned to see the Terracotta Army. I had read stacks of infomation about the exhibition, Miss Megs had found out all about the warriors, the acrobats and the horses we would see - BUT...
... despite getting the 7am train from Chadwell Heath and arriving at the British Museum before 8am we were still too late. There were 700 tickets for the day and we were about 720 in the queue. So whilst eating breakfast at little Subway near Tottenham Court Road station Miss Megs decided that instead we should go to the Tower.
We last went to the Tower in August 2004 - but Miss Megs remembered lots about it and wanted to go again. She has been doing the Tudors in history and now is a little expert about Henry and the wife beheadings at the Tower
It was nice and quiet at 10am so we got to see lots before the crowds arrived - the crown jewels are just amazing and the armoury in the White Tower has been recently revamped.
