London Clocks & Worldwide Clocks - Are you in time, on time - watch the world's clocks


London Clocks
Last weekend in London the clocks went back.
Big Ben in London is one of the world's famous clocks.

It featured in the film The Thirty Nine Steps directed by Alfred Hitchcock with the hero Hannay hanging onto the clock face hands. The book was by Scottish author John Buchan. A stage play of The Thirty Nine Steps is on in London.

You can see a weathervane featuring Old Father Time at Lords Cricket Ground in St John's Wood which is just north of Baker Street, on the bus or underground train. As it's high up you might be able to spot it from the top of a bus or a nearby building.
