A difficult question to answer as the Tower of London is quite a large structure which was altered and expanded on over several hundred years. As a result I will restrict my answer to the central building, the White Tower, whose construction was begun in 1078 by William the Conqueror.

The White Tower is not made of bricks as we know them but Kentish ragstone, a very hard sandstone of bluish-grey colour and particularly suited to medieval building work. The Tower itself is 90ft (27m) high
