The Clink Prison Museum
Proudly the “original clink,” this was, until 1780, where law-abiding citizens threw South-
wark troublemakers. Today, it's a low-tech torture museum filling grotty old rooms with
papier-mâché gore. There are storyboards about those unfortunate enough to be thrown in
the Clink, but little that seriously deals with the fascinating problem of law and order in
Southwark, where 18th-century Londoners went for a good time.
