Croydon Clocktower, Arts and museum complex in Croydon, England.
Croydon Clocktower is a cultural center on Katherine Street that combines a library, exhibition spaces, a cinema, and a concert hall in one building. The Victorian structure was extended with modern interiors to host different types of cultural activities.
The original building was a 19th-century Town Hall that was expanded during the 1980s. Its reopening as a cultural center marked a turning point for Croydon as a destination for the arts and learning.

The building offers easy access to different activities: you can visit an exhibition, watch a film, or spend time in the library all in one visit. There is also a cafe inside where you can take a break between activities.
The building hosted major art exhibitions in its early years that drew artists and art lovers to the space. These events helped establish the location as a cultural hub for the wider area.
