About Jewel Tower
The Jewel Tower is a 14th-century surviving element of the royal Palace of Westminster.
The small stone building sits opposite Parliament and has a modest display inside about its various history as royal wardrobe storage to housing imperial standards measures, and House of Lords archive.
Has a small cafe in the ground floor, which is basic, but useful in this part of town.
