The Clockmakers' Museum

Located on the second floor of the Science Museum, the Watchmaker Museum has the best collection of watches in the world. It covers the works of masters from the early seventeenth century to Edward East, John Harrison, and explains the history of watchmaking in London.

This tiny little museum - which is free, by the way - contains over 600 clocks and time keepers, some of which are 400 years old. It's packed, wall to wall to wall to wall, with time keepers of every type and make, offering a chronology of clockmaking through the ages. They also have John Harrison's H5 marine watch (google it, it's important). The best part is that it's so little known - it's usually completely empty, and you get to walk amongst the ticking all by yourself. If you love clockwork as much as I do, you simply must visit this museum.

A good tourist attraction recommended by friends.

London's famous Watch Museum is rich in historical knowledge and evolution of watches and clocks. A place worth visiting.

I'm glad to see the collection of Bergamo as a biographical narrative. It ended the day with a cup of hot cappuccino.
