Visitor Information

Open: 9.30am-4.45pm Mon-Sat

Combine a visit to this curio of a museum with a visit to the historic Guildhall and the Guildhall Art Gallery. The Clockmakers' Museum collection is housed in the Guildhall Library and is the oldest collection specifically of clocks and watches in the world, with about 1,000 exhibits. It offers up some fascinating tid-bits of general knowledge too. Did you know that the Belville family used to sell Greenwich Mean Time to Londoners using a pocket watch named 'Arnold’? Or that there was a decimal watch invented in 1862 on which the hands move anti-clockwise and the day is divided into ten hours?

Accessibility
The Clockmakers' Museum has a wheelchair lift and is located on one floor only, with no steps.
