I think this museum was well worth £7...well; I thought maybe it was s bit bigger, but hell...it was nice and scary :-)

The museum here is on the site of the infamous Southwark prison known as the Clink, from which other prisons get their nickname. It was built in the 11th century, and torn down by rioters in 1780.

Well worth a visit for some history - use the special to get 2 for 1 otherwise its a bit overpriced!

An incarceration museum on the spot of possibly the oldest prison in England.

On the site of the notorious prison, this museum relays the history of Southwark as well as hosting some deeply unpleasant-looking torture devices. Read more

Historical interesting. Short texts and infos.

Only go if you have a discount voucher - don't pay full price! Pretty average. You can go through the whole place in about 20mins.

Learn more about London's gory history and remind yourself how good we actually have it nowadays

Interesting and gruesome history.

Avoid. This is a tourist trap of a quite small & overpriced museum. Badly wax puppets & blood effects presenting the Southwark/Clink prison & it's history.

Get your photo 'in gaol' at the end.

Really shite, but good fun if you have a sense of humor.

Intellectually this is important but its not a 'theme park' like other nearby places.
Max SannaMay 27, 2012
Very short trip (less than 10 mins) with just a few puppets in chains here and there, not worth the visit, sorry

Ridicoulous museum!!

Avoid like plague in jail. Small, overpriced and nothing spectacularly interesting. Epic Fail and tourist trap.

Wieder ein sehr kleines Museum, dass zwar nett ist, aber für 7 Pfund hätte ich mir mehr erwartet.

Una mierda, cualquier otra cosa que hagas con tu dinero será una mejor inversión
