Tower of London

The Tower has executed queens, princes, and spies — and its ghosts wear history on their sleeves. Anne Boleyn walks the grounds headless; the Princes in the Tower are sensed in the White Tower; a phantom bear is among the stranger reports from the menagerie era.

Yeoman Warders and night staff share stories of locked doors opening, muffled sobs in the Beauchamp Tower, and the weight of centuries in empty rooms. Essential for any map of Britain's haunted capital.
