On the site of the original Clink Prison, this museum is now located, where you get an idea of the medieval prison system.
The prison was owned by the Bishops of Winchester. And from the 12th century to the demolition in 1780, the prisoners ranged from priests to prostitutes.
In the area around The Clink, which was known as “The Liberty of the Clink”, the bishops passed the law. It was the London Red Light District of that time with tavernas and entertainment.
The Clink Prison Museum is a real hands-on museum, you can touch and photograph everything.
