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

Approximately how many bricks are there in London?
Wonderful question! The population of London is about 8 million. On average, there are less than 3 people per house nowadays, so there must be almost 3 million houses. It might take (very roughly) 20 000 bricks to build a house. That would make 60 000 000 000 (sixty thousand million) bricks in total. It would be reasonable to double or triple this figure to allow for the myriad other uses of bricks in a city. So we are looking at at least 12 figures - hundreds of thousands of millions.
