The White Tower - Tower of London

The White Tower at the Tower of London.

The White Tower is a central tower, the old keep, at the Tower of London.

It was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and subsequently extended.

It was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite.

The White Tower gives the entire castle its name.
