Visiting with the family
The Tower is pushchair friendly if your child can bear the bumpy cobblestones! The Jewel House is fully accessible for pushchairs but if you wish to visit the White Tower you will need to leave them in the pushchair park outside; however, please note that it is not supervised.
There are baby-changing facilities in the Brick Tower toilets situated behind the Jewel House.
Baby food and a special children's lunch box are available in the New Armouries restaurant.
Please note that unaccompanied children will not be granted admittance to the Tower.
If any child becomes detached from their party, please let a member of staff know as soon as possible. Lost children are usually taken by a Yeoman Warder to the Byward Tower until they can be reunited with their family or group.

Please ensure that children understand that if they become lost they should ask a uniformed warder for help.
