Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament (where Parliament sits) and not the Tower of London (which is a castle and prison at the other end of London) on November 5th 1605.

They were hoping to kill many of the Protestant nobility in the house of Lords but was exposed when one of the gang warned a Catholic peer to stay away.

What has guy forks got to do with the Tower of London?

Guy Fawkes is associated with the Tower of London primarily due to his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which aimed to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate King James I. After the plot was foiled, Fawkes was captured and tortured in the Tower, where he ultimately confessed. The Tower has since been a symbol of royal authority and the consequences of rebellion, linking it to Fawkes' infamous attempt to undermine the monarchy. Today, the event is commemorated annually on Guy Fawkes Night, celebrated with bonfires and fireworks.
