London Tower and Tower Bridge


London Tower and Tower Bridge
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

The central tower, known as the White Tower, was ordered to be built by William the Conquerer in 1078. It's really a castle or a fortress with a series of turrets, but it remains to be known as the Tower of London, not to be confused with the Tower of Babel which was destroyed by the Almighty in a place now known as Iraq. It was the place of many executions, much like present-day Iraq. Ironically, they no longer have capital punishment in the UK.
