The Ceremony Of The Keys
The ceremony of the keys is the traditional locking up of the tower of London each night. Set amidst the mighty bettlements of this ancient fortress, it is one of the oldest and most colourful surviving ceremonies of its kind having been enacted every night, without fail, for well over 700 years in much the same form as we know it today.
There is no better time to enjoy the majesty of The Tower of London then when the public visitors have left for the day, and it is just the Yeoman Warders and the ravens still out there.
Prior to attending the Ceremony of the Keys, guests will be taken on an hour- long external tour by a Yeoman Warder. The Yeoman Warders live at the Tower and have remarkable stories to tell, about its history. As well as letting you in on a few secrets about life as a modern-day resident (try ordering pizza to be delivered and then giving your address as The Tower of London)
Following your tour, you will assemble to witness this historic ceremony.
With the Tower secure for another evening, guests depart.
le Pont De La Tour
Located, on the south bank of the Thames, by Tower Bridge Le Pont de la tour is the perfect place to begin your evening as we welcome you with a glass of Champagne.
Le Pont de la Tour overlooks the River Thames, with a focus on traditional yet innovative French cuisine. The restaurant draws inspiration from classic French cuisine with unexpected but thoughtful twists.
You will enjoy a three-course dinner with accompanying wines.
After dinner we will have cars waiting to take you to the Tower of London.
Don’t just take our word for it.
“I and my friends would like to say thank you very much for the arrangements and organisation we enjoyed at our evening in the Restaurant and Tower last Friday. We are all now going through your date listings and hopefully trying to join with you again for one of your special days.” – Peter Harris
“My wife an I had a great time on Saturday. Le pont de la Tour was lovely and the food was really good. We sat with an interesting group of people who were a lot of fun. The private tour of the Tower of London and the Ceremony of the Keys was the highlight of the evening. It really did feel like you were witnessing a piece of history. Our yeoman warder guide was entertaining and full of facts and stories. I would totally recommend this tour to friends, clients and colleagues.” – Martin Fredrick
“A wonderful evening was enjoyed by my wife & I, starting off at the Pont de la Tour restaurant where we had a lovely meal and got to know the other guests, then chauffeur driven over to the Tower of London to be given a private guided tour by a Yeoman Warden leading up to the Ceremony of the Keys, where we were witnessing history re-enacted. An excellent experience put together by the Oliver Myles group with Melanie & David very good hosts and I would certainly recommend this trip” – Michael Dryko
