It must be a great place to live, but where do you go when you retire as a Yeoman Warder? I should email The Tower and ask them.

There’s been a great documentary running about the Tower. When they retire? Well, they go upriver to The Royal Hospital Chelsea, I suppose.

I have been watching that, but many are married with children. I presume some housing is found for them if they don’t choose to become Chelsea Pensioners.
