The Jewel Tower is situated in Westminster, London. It is opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, and has Westminster Abbey just behind it. Buckingham Palace is just up the road. Because of its proximity to all these famous tourist destinations, it tends to get overlooked by visitors to London who are rushing around all the big-name sites, which is a shame as it is a really interesting building with a long history attached.
