Ravens of the Tower of London

The first Royal Observatory was located in the

north eastern turret(tower) of the White Tower. Legend has it that John Flamsteed, the ‘astronomical observatory’ complained to King Charles II that the birds we're disturbing him. The King therefore ordered their destruction only to be told that if the ravens left the Tower, the White Tower would fall and a great disaster happens to the Kingdom. Later, the King changed his mind and said that at least six ravens should be kept at the Tower at all times to prevent disaster.
