  • La puerta de los Traidores es una de las entradas que usaron muchos de los prisioneros en la época de los Tudor para entrar a la Torre de Londres. La puerta fue construida por Eduardo I, para proporcionar una esclusa de acceso a la construcción desde la torre de Santo Tomás, que se encontraba orientada hacia el Támesis, y que servía como aposentos para la familia real.​ En la piscina detrás de la puerta había un motor que se usaba para llevar agua a una cisterna en el techo de la Torre Blanca. El motor funcionaba originalmente por la fuerza de la marea o por caballos de fuerza y finalmente por vapor. En 1724-1726, se adaptó para impulsar maquinaria para perforar cañones de armas. Fue eliminado en la década de 1860. El nombre de la llamada puerta de los Traidores era utilizado con anterioridad a 1543, como se demuestra con el trabajo del paisajista flamenco Anton van den Wyngaerde.​ Los prisioneros fueron llevados en barcaza a lo largo del Támesis, pasando por debajo del Puente de Londres, donde las cabezas de los prisioneros recientemente ejecutados se exhibían en picas. Prisioneros notables como Tomás Moro entraron a la Torre por este acceso. Aunque a menudo se informa que la Ana Bolena ingresó a la Torre por este acceso tras ser arrestada, la crónica contemporánea de Charles Wriothesley registra que Bolena fue llevada a través de la "puerta de la corte", ubicada en la Torre Byward.​ (es)
  • The Traitors' Gate is an entrance through which many prisoners of the Tudors arrived at the Tower of London. The gate was built by Edward I, to provide a water gate entrance to the Tower, part of St. Thomas' Tower, which was designed to provide additional accommodation for the royal family. In the pool behind Traitors' Gate was an engine that was used for raising water to a cistern on the roof of the White Tower. The engine worked originally by the force of the tide or by horsepower and eventually by steam. In 1724–1726, it was adapted to drive machinery for boring gun barrels. It was removed in early 1866. The name Traitors' Gate has been used since before 1543, when that name is used on Anton van den Wyngaerde's panorama of London. Prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames, passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently executed prisoners were displayed on spikes. Notable prisoners such as Sir Thomas More entered the Tower by Traitors' Gate. Although Queen Anne Boleyn is often reported to have passed through the Traitors' Gate after her arrest, the contemporary chronicle of Charles Wriothesley "court gate" (in the ). (en)
