British Carillon Society
London Remembers
The Plaque
Atkinsons Carillon is located atop Atkinson's Building at 24 Old Bond Street. It has 23 bells which are described in detail at the Westminster Love's guide.
Some of the links on this posting take you to websites which have better photos of Atkinsons Carillon than we show you here, but for our photos here we had to take the weather, the hour - and camera - as they were. There are only a limited number of carillons in the world, and there is an incomplete list in the Wikipedia at List of carillons. Our own domicile, Traben-Trarbach, in Germany has an Old City Tower with a carillon, restored in the year 2004.
