Good to Know Before You Visit the Clink

The Clink Prison Museum sits in central London on Clink Street in Southwark, an easy walk from London Bridge Underground (Jubilee and Northern lines) or Borough (Northern line). Plenty of buses serve the area too. Coming out of London Bridge Station, follow the signs toward Borough Market and Clink Street and it will take you right to the door.

The museum is usually open seven days a week, opening in the morning and closing in the early evening, though exact hours shift and public holidays can change them, so it's worth checking before you go. Weekday mornings and late afternoons tend to be quieter. Inside, expect narrow corridors, low lighting, sound effects, and recreated cells, so wear comfortable shoes and bring a layer in colder months, as the old stone interior stays cool. There's no dress code. Some displays deal frankly with torture and harsh prison conditions, and a few let you handle the artifacts or feel the weight of the restraints.
