Croydon Clocktower is an arts centre in Croydon, London, England. It contains Croydon Lifetimes Museum, the Riesco Gallery with a collection of Chinese pottery and ceramics, the David Lean Cinema, the Braithwaite Hall used for concerts and conferences, and a café and bar.
The centre is owned and run by Croydon Council, and also houses Croydon's principal public library and tourist information centre. The building links into the Town Hall and some areas of the building, most notably the Braithwaite Hall, are part of the original complex. The Clocktower is the tower of the Town Hall. New buildings were built alongside the Town Hall and were opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.
The Clocktower also incorporates a Youth Ambassadors group, aimed at bringing more young people to the Clocktower.
