The Walkie-Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street) and Cheesegrater skyscrapers stand as modern marvels alongside ancient landmarks like The City. The tower holds stories within its walls; tales that echo through time. It was here that Sir Thomas Wyat launched his audacious attack on By Ward Tower during a tumultuous era in English history. Jane Seymour herself met her husband's lifeless body on her way to the Scaffold from within these very walls. Yet not all towers are made of stone alone; some exist in inked pages or engraved illustrations. Fountains Abbey finds itself immortalized within an engraving titled "The Tower, " capturing both its architectural grandeur and serene beauty. Similarly, Queen Jane's entrance into the Tower is etched forever in a publication from 1840. Intriguing comparisons arise when contemplating future towers - envisioning The Eiffel Tower next to Wembley's own ambitious creation known as "The Tower.
