About The Tower of London: Guarding the Crown Jewels, Anne Boleyn's ghost and ravens stealing crisps from kids

Joe Marler's Things People Do

Our guest today is Ross, who is a Warden at The Tower of London. This episode is nothing short of a fascinating (and absolutely bonkers) history lesson that involves elephants drinking wine, Anne Boleyn's ghost, William the Bastard aka Conqueror, and a bloke called Colonel Blood who tried to steal the Crown Jewels and ended up being the King's best mate. Plus, we learn what is the actual point of a Beefeater.
