The Tower of London is in the north bank of the River Thames．According to the history，King Edward of England had promised to give the throne to William，Duke of Normandy．But at last he gave the throne to Harold Godwinson，his English brother in law．
William was quite angry that he was not the king．He sent his army to fight against England and on October 14，1066，the Duke’s Norman soldiers won，and later，William became the king．At the beginning，the new king thought the people of London did not obey rules．And the new king felt that he needed to protect himself and keep the wild people of London in line．So he built the Tower of London soon．
The tower was a changing project for the kings of England．King after king built upon the Tower adding walls and smaller towers around it．Around the year 1240 King Henry III made the Tower of London his home．He whitewashed the tower，widened the grounds to include a church，and added a great hall and other buildings．The Normans called the tower “La Tour Blanche（White tower）”．
As time went by，the addition of other smaller towers，extra buildings，walls and walkways，became the splendid example of castle，fortress，prison，palace and finally museum that we enjoy today．
