The White Tower in London, built after the Norman invasion of 1066 it was the tallest building in the UK for a while until the middle ages and Gothic cathedral spires got going. People often think that the tower is the sole Normal fortification in London, back in the day though, there were two other Norman castles, Baynard's Castle (1086) and Montifichet's Tower (1173) both near to where St. Pauls now stands and both demolished or decayed long ago, if only rivers could talk..
