The notorious past and living history of the Tower of London.
One of Britain's most majestic and recognizable symbols, the Tower of London has stood on the banks of the River Thames for over 900 years. A fortress, royal palace, state prison and treasure house, it has been the setting for magnificent opulence and the darkest of deeds.

Featuring dramatic reenactments, expert interviews and CGI models, this eight-part series explores the Tower's past, going behind the scenes to witness private ceremonies and uncover forgotten secrets.
