The White Tower with the infamous Traitors Gate entrance from the River Thames.

In the background is the White Tower, built by William the Conqueror nearly 1000 years ago.

In the foreground is Traitors Gate, built between 1275 and 1295. This gate was originally known as the Water Gate but the name was changed as it became the landing point and entrance into The Tower for the Crown's enemies.
