The Clockmakers’ Museum is within about ten minutes walk of the amazing Millenium Bridge, (by St. Paul’s) making it possible for visitors to walk across the Thames to the vastly popular Tate Modern, via the Millennium Measure
Also: take a walking tour of London’s sundials !
In the same group of buildings as the Clockmakers’ Museum are London’s mediaeval Guildhall and the magnificent new Guildhall Art Gallery (photographed here, forming a square with Christopher Wren’s church, St. Lawrence, Jewry) and Roman London’s amphitheatre.
Within 30 yards of the Clockmakers’ window is the memorial to Shakespeare’s friends and fellow actors. See photographs of nearby attractions.
