"Secretive Pub: London's Exclusive 900-Year-Old Fortress Hideaway"

The Tower of London, a 900-year-old fortress and popular historic attraction, houses The Keys, an exclusive pub accessible only to the Tower's serving Yeomen Warders and their guests. The pub, adorned with regal features, serves as a community hub and raises money for charities. Yeoman Warders, also known as Beefeaters, have ancient traditions and modern roles, including welcoming tourists and attending royal ceremonies. The fortress also houses ravens, believed to be guardians, and hosts the traditional Ceremony of the Keys, a nightly ritual.
