THE CLOCK TOWER

(4.9 Score)
3 East Gates, Leicester LE1 5YA, UK Directions

Since 1868

Speciality:

✓ Architecture Structure ✓ Meeting Point ✓ Statue ✓ Clock ✓ Assembly Rooms ✓ Sculpture ✓ Tower ✓ Historical Places and Monument

“The Clock Tower was designed by Victorian architect Joseph Goddard, who created some of Leicester's most famous landmarks, including the old Midland Bank building on Granby Street. The tower was built mainly in Ketton stone with a base of Mountsorrel granite and combined column shafts made of polished Peterhead granite and serpentine. Due to its historical significance, the tower was listed as a Grade II building and underwent restoration in 1992. The Clock Tower is located roughly in the centre of the area inside the ring road and is where five major streets meet. The maze of roads makes the junction the most complex in Britain. The Clock Tower is located in the city centre, just a short stroll from the Cathedral and Guildhall.”

The clock tower has been my go to to meet up with people in town since i was a child , you cant miss it and its dead centre in town so no riff raff is present. its only recently I have bothered to look at it carefully and i would say its very intricate in design and structure.

The clock tower in Leicester is the central point of the city. Many shops, places to eat and meet with family and friends are dotted all around. There is the showcase cinema not too far away and John Lewis which boast a cafe on the top floor with nice views. Being a multi cultural city, Leicester has much to offer.

LEICESTER GUILDHALL REVIEWS

The Leicester Guildhall is free to enter, although you can and should make a small donation. I appreciated being able to take my time and work my way through the different sections and different exhibits. The staff there was helpful and friendly. The Guildhall is ideally located so that you can enjoy it at your pace, and then when you're ready, you are nearby other attractions in Leicester. The Leicester Guildhall is a fascinating, well preserved walk through history.

Really interesting Museum adjacent to Leicester Cathedral and close to the Richard 3rd exhibition, at the time of visit there was free admission but donations are accepted. The cells and particularly interesting, the museum is definitely worth a visit.

Evening about this event was amazing, venue, atmosphere, musicians. It was thorough enjoyed and we will definitely book again.

KING RICHARD III VISITOR CENTRE REVIEWS

Amazing experience! Very helpful staff members in this historical place! One volunteer gave me nearly 20 minutes of history lesson about how King Richard III’s life which I enjoyed immensely. My ticket will allow me to enter for one year and I would be going back to study the life of King of England who’s now in his resting place in this great city.

What an amazing, informative, dynamic exhibition. Great balance of history and modern science in relation to the discovery of Richard III. Very moving to see where he lay for so many years. Loved the family tree, really made it clearer the lineage of the Yorks and the Tudors. Additionally the staff were incredibly helpful and thoughtful. A fantastic place to visit.

Very fascinating story of King Richard. Highly recommend visiting, we tried to book tickets in advance, but due to an error on the website we couldn't. The staff were helpful and we got the reduced rate at the visitor center.
