The Yeomen Warders

The Yeomen Warders, commonly known as Beefeaters, are ceremonial guards responsible for guarding the Tower of London and its Crown Jewels. Historically, they served as royal bodyguards and prison keepers. Today, they perform ceremonial duties, provide guided tours, and share the history of the Tower with visitors. To qualify, candidates must have significant military or police experience, and they are known for their distinctive Tudor-style uniforms. The Yeomen Warders embody centuries of tradition, symbolizing the heritage and security of one of London's most iconic landmarks.
