The history of the Clink was so interesting. I wasn’t sure if it was worthwhile seeing but I was happily surprised. I recommend spending 1 to 1 1/2 hours to appreciate the site.Full review by sherylh73
Hi! I have a four-year-old, and I’m wondering if this museum would scare her. We are very interested in visiting, but just need to know how age appropriate it is. Thanks!
A:
I wouldn’t take a 4 year old there are heads on spikes.... I don’t like these at all...and torture equipment. I think a10 year old would love it , especially if they have seen horrible histories
How accessible is the museum? I understand it's not wheelchair accessible, but are there many stairs and if so, are they relatively flat / even / have handrails?
A:
There are stairs down into the museum and a couple of ledges .. no hand rails that I noticed
