Tower of London postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art postcard depicts the Tower of London in a bright and enchanting style, blending historical majesty with a touch of dreamlike charm. The fortress is painted in warm sandy and golden tones, its tall towers and battlements standing proudly against a glowing yellow sun that radiates in a soft halo across the sky.
Shades of pale blue surround the sun, creating a gentle contrast and giving the impression of a bright, clear day. Below, the River Thames is shown in muted hues of grey, green, and blue, with soft reflections of the tower shimmering across the water’s surface.
On either side, rich green trees frame the scene, adding natural balance to the imposing stone walls. Speckles of white and yellow paint scattered across the composition suggest sparkling light or drifting pollen.

Tower of London
The Tower of London is an 1000 year old citadel and castle which stands on the north bank of the River Thames. It is one of Britain’s most iconic historic sites, with a past steeped in power, intrigue, and drama. Established by William the Conqueror in the 1070s, it has served many purposes over the centuries, from a secure fortress, a royal residence and treasury to an armoury, prison.
At its heart is the imposing White Tower, a masterpiece of Norman military design. Today, the Tower of London is best known as the home of the Crown Jewels, safeguarded by the Yeoman Warders, and as the stage for many pivotal moments in English history, including royal imprisonments and notable executions. Recognised as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, it attracts millions of visitors each year, offering a compelling journey through nearly a thousand years of heritage.
