Yes, if you want the quietest Jewel House experience. Early access lets you enter before general opening, reducing queues and giving you a calmer view of the regalia. It’s especially helpful during school holidays and weekends.

Yes. Popular combos pair the Tower & Crown Jewels with Tower Bridge (glass walkways) or a Thames sightseeing cruise. Combos are efficient and can be better value than buying separately.

Plan 2–3 hours for the Tower in total. Most spend 15–25 minutes in the Jewel House itself. Tickets are typically single entry; re-entry to the Jewel House isn’t guaranteed—check your ticket terms on the day.

The first hour after opening is calmest. Weekday late afternoons are another good window. School holidays and weekends are busiest—consider early access on those dates.

The grounds have step-free routes and accessible facilities; some historic towers have stairs only. Jewel House access is step-free and uses a moving walkway past the crowns. Buggies are fine outdoors; for stair sections, baby carriers are useful. Ask staff for accessible route maps on arrival.

Photography is not permitted inside the Jewel House. Elsewhere around the Tower, non-flash personal photography is generally allowed—follow on-site signs and staff guidance. Tripods and lighting are usually restricted.

Mobile tickets are widely accepted. Keep your QR code handy and your screen brightness high for fast scanning at the gate.

Many options offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before your slot. Early access and small-group experiences can be stricter. Check the policy on your chosen product at checkout.

Reduced rates are often available for children and sometimes for students/seniors, but age bands and ID requirements vary by product. Family passes and city passes can also reduce costs—check each ticket page.

Bring a small daypack, water and weather gear. Security screening applies at entry and large luggage isn’t permitted. There’s no left-luggage on site—use city lockers or your accommodation.
