From July the Tower has actually made it so that you can enter the chapel without being on a Yeoman Warder's tour, they'e just got a Yeoman Warder at the entrance to answer questions and to make sure that no-one takes photos. 

I would go on a Yeoman Warder's tour if you can because the Yeoman Warders are brilliant – slightly inaccurate with their information, but real characters.

Go and stand on the gravelled parade ground between the White Tower and the Waterloo Block, just in front of the clock, and you wll be standing pretty much on the spot where the likes of Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey were executed. As far as being able to see where Anne was imprisoned, she was not imprisoned in the Queen's House, this block was not buillt until after her death, but if you go and stand near the Wardrobe Tower and the Lanthorn Tower, that's where the Royal Palace used to stand and that's where Anne stayed before her coronation and execution. See my post at /anne-boleyn-and-the-tower-of-london/4817/ which includes a plan showing where the Royal Palace used to stand. There's a bigger plan at

/resources/anne-boleyn-places/the-tower-of-london-in-annes-life/

Anyway, make sure you see:-

• The Chapel
• The White Tower
• The execution spot on the parade ground
• The Beauchamp Tower – for the prisoners' grafitti
• The Medieval Palace in the Wakefield and St Thomas Towers
• Crown jewels
• The scaffold site on Tower Hill, out of the Tower grounds – There are memorial plaques there to the likes of Thomas More, Bishop Fisher etc.

It is well worth buying a guide book too.

I hope the info is useful, James. The shop is really good at the Tower too, ought to have put that on the list!

I think we always take things for granted that are on our doorstep. I grew up just a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and took for granted the RSC and Shakespeare's birthplace. Wow, sounds like you had a great time at Windsor.
