It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. The tower stood close to the River Thames at the east end of London. It would have been the first sight of all ships as they arrived in London. They had to sail past it to get to the city. It was founded towards the end of 1 066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was designed by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952, although that was not its primary purpose. Early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a w hole, the Tower of London is the white tower set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat, a canal that goes around it. The White Tower's purpose was two-fold . It was used for protection: guarding the king and queen as well as valuables and holding prisoners. It was also used for national security, especially from intimidating London's citizens. The white tower is large. Most other buildings in London would have been only one story high . The White Tower is around 90 feet high, and would have been visible for miles. It is also strong. It would have been difficult to attack. The walls are up to 15 feet thick. Its only windows were small and low down (too narrow for anyone to climb through) and the main door was at the top of a wooden staircase. It is built of stone. Almost all London 's houses were built of wood . Some of the stone came by ship from Normandy. It was difficult to build. William I and his son forced the Anglo-Saxons from several counties as well as London to work on the building of the White Tower.
