In 1882, the Metropolitan Railway opened the Tower of London station, situated near the fortress. This station served as a temporary terminus for a short extension from Aldgate. However, it closed in 1884, just two years after its inauguration. (en.wikipedia.org) During the First World War, the Tower suffered significant damage from bombings, leading to extensive repairs. Post-war, it reopened to the public, becoming a major tourist attraction. In 2025, it welcomed 2,817,852 visitors, solidifying its status as one of the UK's most visited historic sites.
