Events in London – Monday 9 September

Need some inspiration for 9th September? William the Conqueror died on this day in 1087, so why not go and see the Norman fortress he built at the Tower of London? We recommend joining one of the Yeoman Warder Tours (better known to tourists as the Beefeaters), or booking up for the Ceremony of the Keys.
