Tower of London Gift Shop

We've visited the Tower of London a couple of times, so we don't plan on seeing it again this trip. I was wondering, however, if its possible to visit the new gift shop there without purchasing a ticket. We happened to walk by it one evening (after the Tower was closed for the day) and thought the new gift shop looked pretty nice. Anyone know?

yes i recall that the ticket check is done only when you go through the historical gates before you cross the moat

Yes, they've totally re-done the entrance to ToL - new ticket booths, welcome centre, expanded the gift shop, etc... The gift shop I'm talking about is the actually the old gift shop that was just inside the black iron gates. They've at least doubled the size of it.

In March 2005, we took the Eurostar from Paris to London and visited the Tower of London gift shop without purchasing a ticket.
