The working regalia of a monarchy, on a moving walkway, behind the thickest glass in London.
HistoryFamily friendlyPermanent
In Tower of London.
Not a museum piece: these are in use, and were last used at the coronation in 2023. St Edward's Crown, made in 1661 to replace the medieval regalia Cromwell's men had melted down, is worn once in a reign; the Imperial State Crown, with the Black Prince's Ruby and the Cullinan II diamond, comes out for the state opening of Parliament. The Sovereign's Sceptre carries Cullinan I, the largest cut colourless diamond there is. The Koh-i-Noor is in the Queen Mother's crown, and India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan have all asked for it. A moving walkway carries you past the cases so that nobody can stop, which is the only way the queue works. Included in admission to the Tower.
