Established in 1570 and still in operation, the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain’s oldest manufacturing company, famous for the design and manufacture of the Liberty Bell in 1752 and Big Ben in 1858.
On this special tour we learn about the variety of bells it produces and explore the building itself, which dates back to 1670.
Please note there are uneven floors and steep stairs, and children under 16 are not permitted.
