HEIGHT

BUILT

Built to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, this modest clock tower stands at the heart of a London suburb famous for being "the most boring place in England."

Surbiton's quiet reputation inspired the sitcom The Good Life. The clock tower was erected by public subscription in 1953 and remains a beloved local landmark at the Victoria Road junction.
