The white tower of London
William the Conqueror's castle, the Tower of London, was started in 1066 shortly after the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, the central structure of the castle, was completed in 1078. Thus, the castle was built over a period beginning in 1066 and concluding with the White Tower's completion in 1078.
The whole fortress is formally "Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London". The keep in the middle is "The White Tower". Other towers that are part of the complex include the Bell, Beauchamp, Devereux, Flint, Bowyer, Brick, Martin, Constable, Broad Arrow, Salt, Lanthorn, and Wakefield Towers, the Bloody Tower, the Well Tower, the Cradle Tower, St Thomas's Tower, Byward Tower, the Constable's Tower, and the Lion Tower.

In the Tower of London.
It isn't. There are several towers within the Tower of London and the White Tower is just one of them, albeit the biggest.
The White Tower is one building within the Tower of London. Everything within the outer walls is known as the Tower of London, and this includes The White Tower, the Bloody Tower and the Jewel House. Henry III had the exterior walls of the White Tower whitewashed in 1240, hence the name. The current white parts on the White Tower are made of Caen Stone, which is from France.
