About

Tower ward covers the easternmost portion of the City of London, its historic boundary defined by the line of the Roman and medieval wall. The area is dominated by the Tower of London itself, a fortress that has served as a royal palace, prison, and armoury. Modern corporate towers rise immediately to the west, creating a stark architectural contrast. The ward's riverside section includes the historic wharves of St Katharine Docks, now filled with leisure boats.

The ward is the site of All Hallows-by-the-Tower, the City's oldest church, with a crypt containing Roman pavement. Traffic flows around the major junction at Tower Hill, where a section of the original London Wall is preserved. Trinity Square Gardens holds the former site of the execution scaffold for the Tower. The ward's southern edge is entirely formed by the Thames, with clear views towards Tower Bridge, which is administratively located in the neighbouring borough.
