London because her father is a Beefeater. - She's drawn nearly 192,000 TikTok followers after posting videos of what it's like to live there.
Megan Clawson has an extraordinary home address: The Tower of London.
Yes, that historic castle and fortress smack in the middle of London, where millions of tourists worldwide visit every year.
And if anyone is curious about what it's like to live there, they would only need to look at her TikTok account @meganambxr, where she has amassed close to 192,000 followers.
@meganambxr (pls don’t take everything I say seriously) but here is the house tour (sort of) that everyone keeps requesting #fyp #toweroflondon ♬ Sunny Day - Ted Fresco
"Living inside the Tower of London is an immense privilege, but it does come with a few weird inconveniences," the 22-year-old begins in one TikTok (which she reposted to Instagram after it was removed for showing her address), before going on to details how even ordering delivery is not at all simple.
A pizza order, for example, can only be dropped off outside the castle gates and not at her actual apartment within the grounds. Which also means that she must trek half a mile to reach the gate.
"I can't actually put in my own address [because] if a delivery driver tried to get there, he'd end up face to face with a whole group of security," Clawson said.
"Due to past experiences, I like to specify that the Tower of London is opposite a Starbucks as that seems to be a lot easier to find than a 1000-year old palace and fortress," she joked.
The aspiring actor moved into a family apartment within the castle grounds in 2020 with her father, Chris, one of 32 Beefeaters living there, per BBC News. Also known as Yeoman Warders, Beefeaters are uniformed guards that protect the tower and crown jewels on-site, a tradition that's been in place since 1485.
In one TikTok, she admitted she gets asked about her father's job "all the time."
"To become a Beefeater, you need to have at least 22 years of military service — my dad did 30 years in the RAF (Royal Air Force)," she said.
She also gives her followers a peek into The Keys, an exclusive members-only pub housed within the walls. "The only way you'll get a pint within these walls is with a formal invitation from a Yeoman Warder. Even the prime minister would be turned away at the gates without a formal invitation from a Beefeater," she said.

Clawson shared some views of her apartment, including the stairwell. "The millions of flights of stairs we have — as if the tower itself is trying to make your life, when you're [drunk], as difficult as possible," she said.
She also uses a One Direction towel as a curtain for her bedroom. "The East Wall is consistently packed with people trying to take photos of me while I'm sleeping," she said.
Indeed, with her flowing red curls, tourists have often mistaken her for an attraction at the Tower, she told BBC. Clawson's often been compared to Princess Merida from the animated film "Brave" and Sansa Stark from "Game of Thrones."
"'Brave' is the one I get all the time. Every time I go to the pub, we play a game of how long it will take for someone to come over and ask if anyone has ever told me I look like the girl from 'Brave.'"
Clawson isn't the only TikToker living within the fortress. Insider previously interviewed comedian Tom Houghton, who has been living at the tower since 2016 because his father is a constable there.
Insider has reached out to Clawson for comment.
