Clink Prison Museum

We went to the Clink Museum on a Saturday and it really was not that busy. It costs £5 to get in which is about right (going by London standards that is) The musuem is very small and will only take you about 30 mins to go round. This museum does rely heavily on the visitor wanting to read a lot of information. There are a few wax works but this is nothing like the London Dungeon. I am very interested in prison history and so I really enjoyed it, equally I love to read about this sort of thing. My husband on the other hand is not really bothered and too be honest he would not have gone if it had not been for me.

I would suggest only visiting if you are interested in prison history, if not then give it a miss

We weren't able to visit on our first trip to London, so it was on our must see list the second trip (especially since we had seen it on Most Haunted on tv). It was really a disappointed. We didn't realize it was so small. It is only 4 or 5 rooms in size. It was interesting (what there was of it). I was glad it was only 5GBP to get in. I wouldn't steer you away from checking it out, but be aware that it is small and takes less than 30 minutes.

We came to the clink not for blood and guts but for an insight into what prison life was like in the 1800, if you have got time to read there is alot of information available, a small museum with a lot of information packed in, if you are into crime and punishment then its well worth a visit.
