  • The Best Museum in London - The Clink Prison Museum
    Passing this hidden away Clink Prison Museum on many of my London walks - and incidentally, they call this the best museum in London.
    I felt it was time to film inside The Clink to show the astonishing history.
    The Clink dates back to the 16th century and can be found at: Clink Street, SE1 9DG
    www.clink.co.uk/
    Join me as I walk through hundreds of years of prison cells, original stone walls, torture & atmosphere of 16th century London

    So I was thinking, lovely… nice bit of
    Gregorian chant music to start how scary can this be? Dear me! 😱 we certainly wouldn’t want to be around in those days, those poor souls. The old Judge was harsh and heartless sounding wasn’t he? Phew! I think after that a glass of wine in the Anchor would have been most deserving. Again, another enjoyable but scary watch. 😀
