In the game
In the game, the Tower of London is the heavily fortified headquarters of Albion, the private military company that polices the city, guarded by soldiers and cameras. You only get inside it in the mission Inside Albion.
The real place
William the Conqueror began the White Tower around 1078, and the castle grew around it over the following centuries as a royal palace, prison and armoury. It still houses the Crown Jewels and is guarded by the Yeoman Warders, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visiting
Go straight to the Crown Jewels at opening time, before the queues build. Then join one of the free tours led by a Yeoman Warder, which start near the entrance and are included in the ticket.
Tower of London is also in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Fallout: London. See all 3 games side by side
