Darkening skies over the Tower of London 🏰 Adding a little bit of drama to our Tuesday afternoon ☁️

🔎 Focus on the Beauchamp Tower 🏰 This imposing tower was built by Edward I in 1281 to strengthen the Tower's outer defences 💪

⛓️ This Tower takes its name from Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, who was imprisoned here in the 14th century for rebelling against Richard II 👑
