I do not think there would be a very good response. The number of attendances last year fell from 142,649 in September to 44,000 in October, 27,000 in November and 13,000 in December. This indicates that the Tower is nothing like as popular in the winter as it is in the summer. I do not think it would be a good thing to open the Tower of London on Sundays.
