This 19th-century clock tower stands at 77 feet tall, built in 1859 to commemorate the arrival of the railway in Lewisham. The tower's design is a mix of Italianate and Gothic Revival styles, featuring a square base, octagonal shaft, and a broach spire topped with a copper roof. The clock's four faces are made of opal glass, illuminated at night, and the tower is adorned with intricate stone carvings.
Beautiful architecture, very significant symbol in Lewisham. Most importantly, the clock still works.
Lewisham clock tower is more like a landmark for people travel from Kent to London, no one can literally miss a way here. Although it's busy, traders, buses and cars, but there are bus stations with directions here.
Needed to use the Post Box close to the clock tower. The tower is the well known landmark at the start of the High Street, showing everyone the start of a couple of rows of great shops and the entrance to the shopping centre.
All I'm asking is why? Why do I need to review this? Don't really like Lewisham. Avoid at all costs if you ask me.
A nice place, quiet and inspiring in the morning, later on it gets busy and loud, but very social. This including people fundraising, praising Jesus, or the classic that we love, "pound a bowl!" :)
Queen Victoria gifted these monuments to various places Lewisham was one, a nice focal point to meet up visible from most roads, the restoration has been done in a in- keeping way makes it look amazing, nice bit of history to look at while you wait for bus or just passing, hope it stays for ever in same location
