This is an absolute beauty! This monument literally stands tall in the heritage zone. You can watch this monument from the bank of river Gomti and it looks sublime.The place around the clock tower starts buzzing in the evening and there are parks, amphitheater and pedestrian areas near it. The area close to clock tower is cordoned off and you cannot go very close to it. Nevertheless, you can walk around this place, spend time from the normal routine and you won’t be disappointed!

The iconic clock tower in Lucknow was constructed by the Hussainabad trust in 1881.... Since then, it has seen major transformations but the soul of the clock tower is still the same... The area near the clock tower was revamped by the district administration few years before... It is one of the top spots for outing for locals as well as tourists...

Infact one of the most worthiest place to visit in Lucknow.The dusk time spending here is exemplarily worthwhile.
It is a palace during a period of mugal empire.It memorise the life of mugal empire.
The clock tower is an impressive monument, and the clocks showed the correct time. The tower in itself is well maintained. However the grounds are littered with plastic bags and presence of some vehicles and tankers mars the beauty somewhat.
Very Nice place & Night Water Show is Awesome 👌👌👌
Clock towers are a specific type of structure which house a turret clock and have one or more clock faces on the upper exterior walls. Many clock towers are freestanding structures but they can also adjoin or be located on top of another building. Some other buildings also have clock faces on their exterior but these structures serve other main functions.Good
Interesting place as we know its heritage arc beautiful in morning and night times , if you are from Lucknow aur visiting Lucknow you must visit their

What a monument by Wajid Ali Shah😍❤👌
This is the tallest clock tower in India. This skyscraper was built in 1881 by the Hussainabad Trust. It was built to welcome the first Lieutenant Governor of Awadh, George Cooper. The entire building was designed by Mr. R.R. Bayne of Calcutta. Its construction started during the period of Mohammad Ali Shah, the third king of Awadh.Entitled as the ‘Tallest Clock Tower of India‘, Husainabad Clock Tower is really worth a visit. It is situated approximately 4.8 km away from the city center (Hazratganj) in the old Lucknow.It is a true replica of Big Ben Clock Tower of London and also known as Ghanta Ghar in the local language.
