Brief synthesis. The Tower of London is an internationally famous monument and one of Englandâs most iconic structures. William the Conqueror built the White Tower in 1066 as a demonstration of Norman power, siting it strategically on the River Thames to act as both fortress and gateway to the capital.
When the Tower opened in 1894 its success justified the overall investment of nearly Â£300,000, and the Company made a Â£30,000 profit in 1896. Two Lancashire architects, James Maxwell and Charles Tuke, designed the Tower and oversaw the laying of its foundation stone on 29 September 1891.
