Raised memorial for WWI and sunken wall memorial for WWII in a park. Really worth a visit. I didn’t realize so many Merchant Navy seaman gave their life in WW2.

Spent Memorial day on a tour with a volunteer from the Commonwealth Graves Commission. I go to Tower Hill all the time and pass by this area. Never had I realised what it was and how much history is contained here. Stories of battles, but even more so of people. The volunteer was absolutely amazing in having done the research himself. Highly recommend looking for one of their tours of this WW1&2 monument

Tower Hill contains both War Memorials to naval and maritime loses during both world wars and the Falklands Islands war. As well the traditional site of execution outside The Tower.

A beautiful, poignant memorial, but it could have done to be cleaned up. There were empty crisp packets and gin bottles thrown around.

Memorial right near Tower Hill station and Tower Bridge for the merchant navy and fishing fleets soldiers who lost their lives in WW1 and WW2. A nice quiet place to sit and reflect, with quite a few benches situated around a well maintained green space.
