Please check local regulations for: Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historic castle on the banks of the Thames. The White Tower was built in 1078 with the inner ward added in the 1190s. Over the centuries it has been a royal palace and prison, while today it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country.
You'll see the southern walls and fortifications as you run along the Thames path. The views of Tower Bridge from this section are also excellent.
As with much of this area it gets very busy during the day, so plan an early run to avoid having to dodge crowds of sightseers.

Nice and quiet on a morning run. Great views of Tower Bridge from here too.
