| An ancient and mighty fortress, and beside it a subterranean shopping centre that is a hive of tat and tourist trinkets. It’s easy to miss the shopping centre, fortunately, which is probably why few Londoners even know it exists, but right next to the Tower of London there is indeed such a place.The site of the Tower Vaults used to be the site of the huge eight-storey Mazawattee Warehouse built by George Myers in 1864, but it was extensively damaged in WW2 by bombs, and just after the war, a local charity, the Tower Hill Improvement Trust bought the land and demolished the buildings in order to create a more pleasant landscape around the Tower of London.The Trust still owns the vaults, although they recently agreed a 150 year lease with the Fishmongers Company, and they were revamped in 1987 and in 2001. Above is a terrace that was built to create a viewing platform of the Tower, but that’s long since been blocked off by a coffee chain store that sits on top of the vaults and the newish ticket sales building for the Tower. -- ???????? | |||
