Where are you most likely to see ravens in London?
The most likely place to see ravens in London are at The Tower of London.
The ravens that live at the Tower of the London are known as The Guardians of the Tower.
It is said that should the ravens ever leave the grounds of The Tower of London then the Tower shall fall and along with it the entire English Kingdom.
The ravens at the Tower of London have had their wings clipped to prevent them all from flying away at the same time. This goes way back to the reign of King Charles II and it was the King himself who ordered that the ravens at the Tower be protected and that their wings be clipped to prevent his Kingdom from falling.
There are seven ravens guarding the Tower today which is far fewer than the days of old although the story has it that only six ravens need be in place for the Kingdom and Tower to be safe from falling...so there are the six necessary and one spare...just in case.
All six ravens have to leave before the Kingdom and The Tower will fall and there isn't any chance of that happening because the ravens are very well protected by The Raven Master and The Yeoman Guards (otherwise known as Beefeaters). The ravens have their own lodgings which they return to each evening which is close to the Wakefield Tower but every single day they all take their place guarding the four territories within the grounds.
The ravens at The Tower are mainly meat eaters and it is forbidden for visitors to feed them or to get too close to them should they see them whilst walking around the grounds.

Well, the reason they smash into your windows is that they can't see the glass, but only see inside, and they want to get inside but don't know the window is there. So what I would do is put window stickers or tape patterns on the window so that they can see that the glass is there. Or, if you want to spend only $10 and buy a Feather-Guard that works very well to stop birds from hitting the windows. The link is mentioned in the related links below.
