White Tower Galleries

Royal Armouries and Historic Royal Palaces have joined forces to present Fit for a King, a stunning new permanent exhibition showcasing 500 years of Royal arms and armour.

The Tower of London’s iconic White Tower will host the exhibition of Tudor, Stuart, Hanoverian and Windsor arms and armour from this Easter, marking the 350th anniversary of King Charles II’s Restoration and the Tower of London opening to the visitors for the first time.

The journey through this fascinating Royal collection begins by exploring armour created for use on both the battle and sports fields and its design over the centuries. Armour’s later decline and eventual redundancy of armour is explained through containing many remarkable firearms.
