The diagram on the left shows the exploded view of the keep at the Tower of London. It
shows the layout of the four floors of the keep. All floors are divided in two
by a central wall.
 The lowest floor
of the keep contain two large store rooms (left and upper right) and the sub-crypt built into the
semicircular apse (lower right).
The only access to this floor is via the spiral staircase from the floor
above.
 The entrance to the
keep is on the first floor shown at the bottom left of the diagram.
This floor was used by the castle's garrison for sleeping and eating and here
they could defend the main entrance. The room to the bottom right is the crypt.
 The second floor
of the keep contains the main hall and chambers used by the king, lord or earl living
at the castle at the time. This floor also contains the chapel (bottom right).
 The top floor
contains a passage that runs all the way around the top of the keep allowing
someone to look down into the main hall and chapel.
