Many stories associated with British history come from the Tower. Of course, no visit to the Tower would be complete without seeing the ravens: huge black birds who are an official part of the Tower community.Legend states that if the ravens were to leave the Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with it.Under the special care of the Raven Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw meat.And there is no danger of them flying away, because their wings are clipped.
The Tower of London is famous as home of the Crown Jewels.Today they can be viewed in their new jewel house..They include the Crown of the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother which contains the celebrated Indian diamond.
