Peak season vs low season

  • Peak season: Visiting the Tower of London during the peak season, from May to October, offers a lively atmosphere with special events showcasing its rich history. However, expect larger crowds and longer queues during this period.
  • Low season: Visiting the Tower of London during the low season, from mid-October to mid-March, provides fewer crowds, shorter queues, and better deals on tickets and accommodation, allowing for a leisurely exploration. December also offers a festive Christmas atmosphere.
