Medieval History
People looking for things to do in London in the dull days after Christmas should try Medieval Christmas at the Tower of London.
Between December 27th and 31st, the aged King Edward I will gather his family for festive fun including music and dancing, as Queen Margaret attempts to steer his thoughts away from the upcoming wars with Scotland and his tempestuous relationship with his son.
However, if visitors are unable to join in the seasonal merriment, they can still enjoy life in the medieval palace, which is ongoing until March 31st 2011.
