Ceremony of the Keys and Tour of the Tower

Fifty members of the City of London Solicitors’ Company met in the Hung, Drawn and Quartred for light refreshments before heading across to the iconic Tower of London.

Once checked in, they enjoyed an atmospheric tour of the tower with a Yeoman Warden followed by observing the iconic Ceremony of the Keys.

Set amidst the mighty battlements of this ancient historic fortress, the Ceremony of the Keys is one of the oldest surviving enactments of its kind. Although the monarch may no longer reside at the Tower, the Crown Jewels and many other invaluable objects still do, therefore its importance is still relevant today.
