Tower of London,
is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central
London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the
eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known
as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman
Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name,
was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of
oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. Source
