I'm doing a bit of research before traveling and this question came up between my friends and I. I heard there was a moving sidewalk so you can't walk around and stare at the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London. My friends say there isn't. Please help settle this dispute. Thanks!

It's true. The crown jewels are kept in the Tower of London, behind bullet proof glass, and you can see them by standing on a moving walkway. Also they limit the amount of people allowed in the room at any one time.

It is about ten years since I was there, but the platform around the display case did not move. However, it was wide enough for two rows of people. The attendants did not allow people in the front row to stand still; they had to keep moving. If they wanted to stand and look, they had to find a place in the back row.
So your friends are right, but you are correct that you can't stand and stare (at least, not at close range).

I went two years ago and you're on one of those movng walkways like they have in airports but much slower. It's very well lit and you see quite a lot of things. You're not allowed to move around on your own and you have to stay on the walkway thing. No photos either I think....

well, the last time i saw them, you just had to pass by in the front and that was it. no you couldn't walk around them. and if i recall correctly it was just a very black, dimly light space with the crown jewels inside of a case. you walked by, and that was it.
