The Tower of London was started in the 11th century to defend London from attackers.

There has been a defensive fortress on the site since pre-Roman times but the site as it appears today was largely built by the Normans.

Their correct name is Yeoman Warders but they are often referred to as Beefeaters.

The tower of London was mostly used by the Tudors. It was used as a palace and later on a prison! It was also a great court, and was basically the old parliament. In the Victorian times, the Tower of London became more of a museum, as it still is now. But annually, the Queen of England visits the White tower!

No.

Edward V son of Edward IV was taken to the tower along with his younger brother. Edward V was to be the King after Edward IVs death, but was declared illegitimate, therefore he could not be king. He and his brother were taken to the tower in fear of their safety after this news. They were under the care of their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester later Richard III. The princes were taken to the tower and never heard from again. The rumor is that either Richard III hired someone to smother them or Henry VII had them killed. It has never been proven who actually did it, both had reason to though. Later there were skeletons found in the tower believed to be those of the two princes.

Although the Tower of London is today seen as a visitor attraction, it is also a thriving community; about 150 people still live within its walls including the Yeoman Warders (or 'Beefeaters') and their families, the Tower Doctor and Chaplain, the Resident Governor and, of course, the famous Ravens.

No he did not. It was built over a long period of time, in different phases, by many different people.

The Tower of London's dungeons consist of a number of catacombs. During the Medieval Age, the dungeons served as torture chambers for London's most hardened criminals. The dungeons were also full of vermin and disease.

The birds that live at the Tower of London are Ravens and their continued residence at the Tower is assured because legend has it that if the ravens leave the Tower then it will fall along with the monarchy. There is a "Beefeater", or Yeoman Warder who looks after the birds and he is called the Raven Master. There are presently seven birds kept at the Tower each one is named. The legend states that at least six must remain within the Tower. The birds are called Odin, Thor, Hardey, Gwyllum, Hugine, Munin and Cedric. They are fed on a daily basis with raw meat and some dried bird food with the occassional dead rabbit thrown in complete with fur which is good for them. To stop them from escaping they have had one wing clipped which apparently doesn't hurt them but does make them fly somewhat awkwardly. There is somewhat of a history attached to the birds and a visit to the Tower of London will ensure that you learn more.

The Tower of London is a fortress on the north bank of the River Thames east of the city. The original part was built in 1078 as a fortress to protect the royal family but it is better known for being used as a prison. It also holds the Crown Jewels.
