You step through the gate of one of England’s oldest fortresses and a Beefeater is waiting—uniform crisp, voice low with stories that have been passed down through regimented years. The stone yards smell faintly of Thames damp and oiled metal from the Royal Armouries as the Yeoman Warder leads a small group into a restricted courtyard beside the King’s House for a private 15-minute welcome.
