Tower Hill is an elevated spot north-west of the Tower of London, just outside the limits of the City of London in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Formerly it was part of the Tower Liberty under the direct administrative control of Tower. Belonging to one of the oldest parts of London, archeological evidence shows that there was a settlement on the hill in the Bronze Age and much later a Roman village that was burnt down during the Boudicca uprising.

The church All Hallows-by-the-Tower is renowned for fragments of Romanesque architecture dating back to the year 680.

Public executions of high-profile criminals were carried out on the hill.

Among those executed there were:

Women were generally executed on Tower Green within the confines of the Tower of London rather than on Tower Hill.

It is the site of the Tower Hill Memorial, Tower Gateway DLR station, and Tower Hill tube station.
