    Visiting the London Gunmakers + London Recommendations for Mid-October 2023?

    Plenty of history to see in London. There are some old Roman wall structures in the city. I would try to fit in a few hours to see the Tower of London as there are quite a few displays. The Royal Albert museum and Westminster Abbey are other places you may want to see.
