Ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of House of the Dragon, the prequel series to the global phenomenon that is Game of Thrones, fans of the treacherous realm can be first in line to sit on the show’s iconic Iron Throne this summer. Have we piqued your interest?
Forged by the first king of the Targaryen dynasty, King Aegon, from the swords of his defeated enemies, the Iron Throne has become the most iconic chair in history- What an achievement. You probably would have noticed that this new Iron Throne looks very different to the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones, well that’s because it’s much younger and noticeably more sinister… The Targaryens were renowned for their ability to make enemies rather than forge allies, and this new Throne heavily reflects their bloodied path.
Now, this is the Throne that will be touring the UK so if you’re a Game of Thrones fan then this is an opportunity that you won’t want to miss.
Listings dates:
Location: East Drawbridge entrance, Tower of London, London, EC3N 4AB
Dates: Monday 8th August, Tuesday 9th August 2022
Times: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Fans of the show around the UK and Ireland will also have a chance to see the Throne throughout August. Confirmed locations include:
- Leicester Square, London – 15th August
- Cardiff – 17th– 18th August
- White City, London – 20th – 21st August
- Carlton Hill, Edinburgh – 24th and 25th August
