Tower of London 
 
ICC 2015 Conference Banquet will be held at the Pavilion at the Tower of London 
 
Wednesday 10 June 




For almost a thousand years the Tower of London has stood on the shore of the River Thames in service of the Monarch.

Steeped in history and home to the priceless Crown Jewels, the Tower is famous (and infamous) over the centuries, for its royal residents and noble prisoners, some of whom never left its confines alive. 

IEEE ICC 2015 welcomes you to an exclusive private evening tour of this unique and intriguing historic monument followed by a summer banquet beside the Tower Walls.

On arrival at the Tower of London you will be greeted by the Yeoman Warders who will guide you through the walkways, past Traitors Gate, The Bloody Tower and the imposing White Tower to the spot where Anne Boleyn and many other nobles were beheaded.

Then a visit to the Jewel House to see the one of the  largest diamonds in the world, the Star of Africa amongst other priceless gems in the British Crown Jewels collection.

The tour then ends with a stroll down to the banquet pavilion where a refreshing drink awaits you before a night of good food, entertainment and great memories.
