    Today, seven ravens (including Baldrick and Marley) are kept at the Tower, and they each have a wing clipped to ensure they can’t fly far.

    Amazing place, but the audioguide is not worth the £4. There no clear logic behind the guide, you're better off reading the little descriptions on the pieces.

    Don't feed the ravens. They get fed good meat and bloody bread each day.

    They let too many people in. Rinsing those tourist dollars. If you’re here to see the Crown Jewels, expect to wait 2, 3 hours in a queue
