Yeoman Warders Club

[1] Beefeaters generally live in the Tower along with their families, which led to the existence of a dedicated pub.

[1][2] The current name of the pub, "The Keys", refers to a nightly locking-up ritual in the Tower; the name is a recent change, and the establishment was historically known as the Yeoman Warders Club.

[2] The pub features elegant red leather seating, and a highly detailed carpet that includes symbols of the British Monarchy.

Prominent among those is a signature of Rudolf Hess, who was imprisoned in the Tower during World War II.

[3] A Yeoman executioner's axe also hangs on the wall, along with a sign that marked execution spots.
