Best Answer

The Tower of London was a combination of things. It was the Kings living quarters, and a prison. It is made up of several buildings ( still is) and has guards and personal to serve the king. Through the 1000 years of the middle ages it changed over and over and it's uses changed as well. Buildings were torn down at times and other things put up. Inside the White Tower the King had a private chapel ( it is still there) called St. James Chapel. It is large and can't be missed in London.
