Beefeaters, or Yeoman Warders, are the ceremonial guards at the Tower of London. Their role traces back to medieval times when the Tower served as a royal fortress and prison; today they act as guardians and guide visitors, preserving the Tower’s history in their distinctive Tudor-style dress. This strong link to the Tower makes it the landmark associated with Beefeaters. Buckingham Palace has the Queen’s Guard, Westminster Abbey isn’t a guard post, and Windsor Castle also has its own guards, but Beefeaters are specifically tied to the Tower of London.
