Tower of London

Tower of London

The following dialogue is from 2.20 Over The Rainbow:

Wesley: “I was always horrified by those stories about the Tower of London.”
Angel: “Wasn’t that bad.”
(Wes and Gunn turn to look at Angel.)
Wesley: “Yes? - Well, compared to this place I’m sure the tower takes on a certain - nostalgic glow. I wonder if they’re treating the host any better.”

The Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. It is located in central London, England on the north bank of the River Thames.

The Tower’s primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners). The phrase “sent to the Tower” meant being imprisoned. It has also served as a place of execution and torture.
