Jobs in the Tower of London
Now imagine your job is to stand next to the Crown Jewels—worth over £3 billion—and make sure no one tries to pocket the Koh-i-Noor diamond. You’d think it’s all stern faces and laser eyes, right? Wrong. The custodians I’ve met are incredibly chill. They’ll tell you the funniest things tourists ask, like “Is that a real diamond?” (Nope, it’s painted plastic, mate.)
But the job has its intense moments. Every evening, a military escort takes the jewels to a secret vault with a nuclear-grade door. The custodians don’t talk about the details, but one did whisper to me: “The alarms are… sensitive.” So no sudden sneezes, please.
