Ceremony of the Keys

The traditional locking up of the Tower of London

Be one of the few to witness this ancient ceremony, unchanged for hundreds of years.

The ceremony takes place after visiting hours so no refreshment or toilet facilities are available.

Photography is not permitted during the ceremony. It is illegal to sell or purchase tickets for the Ceremony of the Keys via third parties; Historic Royal Palaces reserve the right to refuse permission if a valid form of ID is not presented on the evening. Multiple bookings will be cancelled.

Tickets are limited and sell out in advance.
