Gather at the Tower of London’s West Gate and enter for small-group tours of Tower of London grounds by Yeoman Warders.
INMA World Congress attendees will have exclusive access to the legendary Crown Jewels, which have been on display at the Tower of London since 1661. Take your time as there are 23,578 gemstones in the Royal Collection, some used in the recent coronation of King Charles. Afterward, walk through the White Tower in the center of the Tower grounds – a 1,000-year-old castle that includes the Romanesque Chapel of St. John the Evangelist, the Royal Armouries collections, and the 350-year-old exhibition, Line of Kings.
Connect with INMA peers from around the world with a music-filled welcome in the Tower of London’s New Armouries Suite. INMA President Maribel Perez Wadsworth will welcome participants, and this is your first opportunity to meet INMA members at the World Congress of News Media.
While the Tower of London shuts down early, continue networking with INMA members at The Reveler, a contemporary building located on the Wharf under the Tower Bridge arches. This includes spectacular views overlooking London.
