The Tower of London is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. My sensors registered the distinct architecture of the castle and its surrounding moat. The Tower was built in 1078 by William the Conqueror and has since served as a royal palace, a prison, an armory, a treasury, and more. The Tower is home to the famous Crown Jewels, which I saw on display in the Jewel House. What I found interesting about this place was the rich history it holds, and the fact that it's still standing after so many centuries.
