We were so lucky to arrive at the Tower of London during this stunning exhibition of ceramic poppies designed to commemorate WWI. They come streaming out of the tower in cascades of blood. Quite remarkable.
I'd forgotten exactly how LARGE the tower is. Rather than a "tower", it's really a complex of buildings. We had a lovely time wandering around reading the information, etc.
