The Caledonian Park Clock Tower (commonly called the Cally Clock Tower) is a historic landmark located in the Islington district of north London. The clock tower is now open for guided tours, where visitors can climb 178 steps to the top for panoramic views of London. It’s located near Caledonian Road Station (Piccadilly line), and is part of the public Caledonian Park. Historical Background: The tower was built in 1855 as the central feature of the Metropolitan Cattle Market, which aimed to replace the overcrowded Smithfield livestock market. Designed by James Bunstone Bunning, the tower is an excellent example of Italianate and Baroque revival architecture. It features four clock faces and an original weight driven mechanism, which still requires manual winding. Decline and Restoration: After the livestock market closed in the 1930s (and meat trading continued until the 1960s), the surrounding area was redeveloped for public housing, and most market structures were demolished except the clock tower. The tower fell into neglect and suffered vandalism for decades. Between 2016 and 2019, it was restored with a £2 million grant and officially reopened to the public in 2019.

A very chilled and relaxing place to take the family or just bring yourself. It's really nice.

The clock is two centuries and five minutes off. DON'T set your watch by it! Don't live your life by it. Don't live your love by it. It's just a clock. Just a clock. A clock. And an old one at that.
