Leave enough buffer—don’t start the Jewel House or a long wall walk right at last admission.
Opening hour for the Crown Jewels; late afternoon can feel calmer; shoulder seasons bring milder crowds.
Book ahead for summer holidays, bank holiday weekends, and peak travel periods.
Occasional special events or evening openings—monitor official announcements.
