The Jewel House holds the working regalia rather than replicas - the crown of the coronation itself, the Imperial State Crown the monarch wears out of the Abbey and at the State Opening, the orb, the sceptre with the Cullinan diamond, the anointing spoon that survived Cromwell - and the queue moves past them on a conveyor because otherwise nobody would. Around them is the medieval fortress, the ravens, the Yeoman Warders and the Ceremony of the Keys at ten each night, which has been performed for seven hundred years and can be booked.
