£15 £15Clerkenwell & Islington Guides' Association (CIGA) is continuing to offer tours inside this Islington landmark.
The first building on the site was erected by Prior Bolton of St Bartholomew’s Priory as a summer retreat from the sights and smells of Smithfield and was later owned by Thomas Cromwell of “Wolf Hall” fame. Most of the building you see during the tour was built in the 1570s, when it was owned by the very wealthy Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Spencer.
The tour offers a rare opportunity to see inside a Tudor dwelling complete with wonderful oak panelling and to hear fascinating stories about the inhabitants of the Tower through the centuries - including a dramatic elopement in a bread basket and the playwright and novelist Oliver Goldsmith's battle with his landlady.
