The Clink Prison Museum is located at 1 Clink Street, just south of the Thames in Southwark. The closest station is London Bridge, around an 8-minute walk away, which is served by mainline trains and tube lines. The museum is right beside Borough Market, so the two are easy to combine, and just 10 minutes on foot from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Tate Modern.

That depends on the age of your child. It’s generally advised that kids should be aged 7 years or older to visit, as the museum covers topics such as crime, punishment, and life in prison that may not be suitable for younger children.

Visitors typically spend around 1–2 hours at The Clink Museum, which is ample time to explore the exhibits at a leisurely pace. The museum was built on the site of one of the country’s oldest prisons, dating back to 1144, which ran for around 600 years.

Yes, given its fantastic location near London Bridge, there’s plenty to do near The Clink Museum. You can stroll over to Shakespeare’s Globe, view modern art at the Tate Modern, or discover another quirky attraction—The Old Operating Theatre Museum. Also nearby is Borough Market, perfect for a meal or snack after visiting the museum.
