Yes — and the best part is already in the price. The Yeoman Warder tour costs nothing extra and the last one leaves at 15:15, so arriving at four means paying £38 for a queue.

Admission rises on 1 October 2026, so the £37 you have read elsewhere is about to be wrong. The second figure on the ticket page is the same ticket with HRP's optional 10% charity donation added; declining it is not rude, and the £1 concession is real.
| Visitor | Price |
|---|---|
| Adult 18–64, from 1 October Your row | £38.00 |
| Adult 18–64, until 30 September | £37.00 |
| Adult, with the optional 10% donation | £41.80 |
| Senior 65+ or full-time student | £30.30 |
| On Universal Credit or named benefits | £1.00 |
Every third-party guide tells you to pre-book. Historic Royal Palaces does not:
“Tickets are also available on the day subject to availability at Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace and Hillsborough Castle ticket offices.”
