I once swore the #TowerOfLondon wasn’t for me; too busy, too Tudor.
A snowy morning changed everything.
A Beefeater tour, Crown Jewels… and a spark that became a book.
What place proved you wrong?

Hampton Court Palace, former home of Tudor royalty, is now a home to ghosts and visiting tourists. During the Spooky Season, this historic royal palace was extra spooky for Halloween.

Photo showing a medieval castle beside a river under a cloudy sky. Mature green trees contrast against the grey and white stone of the tower, and the surrounding curtain walls. A substantial number of tourists standing and walking outside the walls hint at the castle’s scale. The water of the river Thames is a milky white, reflecting the overcast sky.

Photo showing the privy garden and the south front of Hampton Court Palace, in bright sunshine. In the foreground, a short fountain sprays water into a small circular pool surrounded by a gravel path. In the middle ground, a garden of low shrubs and hedges is arranged formally around a central gravel path. At the end of the path, we see one wing of a palatial residence built for King William III and Queen Mary II, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th Century. The sky is absolutely blue.

From bomb damage and barrage balloons to soldiers, prisoners and even a medal-winning pigeon - I had the incredible opportunity to research and retell the story of the Tower during WW2 ✌️🏰🌺
