Pick up a leaflet at the Welcome Centre on the daily events taking place during your visit.

It is suggested that the Tower is suitable for children in strollers, if your child can cope with the bumpy cobblestones. I would actually say the Tower is not suitable for children in strollers as you cannot gain access to a lot of the buildings due to the stairs and narrow walkways. The cobbles also get slippy when wet so warn young children not to run around.

There are baby-changing facilities in the Brick Tower toilets situated behind the Jewel House.

Baby food and a special children's lunch box are available in the New Armouries Café.

Lost children are usually taken by a Yeoman Warder to the Byward Tower until they can be reunited with their family or group. Do ensure children understand that if they become lost they should ask a uniformed warder for help.
