Tower Hill is an elevated spot northwest of the Tower of London, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, just outside the City of London boundary.
It was formerly an extra-parochial area known as Great Tower Hill. Historically it was the site of countless public executions and today it is notable for being the site of the Tower Hill Memorial.
The area is served by Tower Gateway DLR station and Tower Hill tube station. A road named Tower Hill forms a short stretch of the A3211 route between Byward Street in the west and a junction with Minories and Tower Hill Terrace in the east.
One of the oldest parts of London, archaeological 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 Boudica uprising. A nearby church, All Hallows-by-the-Tower, is known for fragments of Romanesque architecture dating back to AD 680; the church itself dates from 675.

Lookin' round and round again
That's me, oh that's me
Far away on my own again
A day goes by in Tower Hill
Silence sweet
Is there someone at the door?
Light is on, lit fire round
It's me, you're home
Blue and grey, and seas apart
Another night at Tower Hill
Silence sweet
Is there someone at the door?
Silence sweet
Silence sweet
Is there someone at the door?
Sit inline and count to ten
Still near, right here
Movin' round this empty room
I'm sorry now, at Tower Hill
Silence sweet
Is there someone at the door?

Looking around and around again [no ";uh"; sounds!]
That's mean, oh that's mean [what exactly would be ";mean";?]
Far away on my own again
At Gagans Rye(?) and Tower Hill [you're kidding... ";Gagans Rye";?]
Silence sweet
Is there someone out there too? [in addition to who?]
Lies on on the twilight [Clannad does NOT use double-words]
It's me, you're home
Blue and grey, in season art [oh yeah, that's close... where's the ";P";?]
Another night at tower hill
Silence sweet

Still here, right here
Moving round the center [center- what? center ";oom";? NO!]
I'm sorry now, at Tower Hill
Silence sweet
Is there someone out there too?
