Beefeaters and their families actually reside within the Tower of London all year around!!!

Their homes are situated in the inner wards of the Tower, making it a truly unique place to live. This tradition dates back centuries.

Beefeaters are officially known as Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign’s Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary.

Every night at precisely 9:53 PM, Beefeaters participate in the Ceremony of the Keys, where the Queen’s keys are examined and put away safely.

Ravenmaster: One Beefeater is specifically responsible for the ravens at the Tower, known as the Yeoman Warder Ravenmaster. The ravens are believed to protect the Tower, and legend has it that if they ever leave, the kingdom will fall
