Although
House Mill at Three Mills, Bromley By Bow is regularly open to the public, the adjacent
Clock Mill is largely converted to offices, and hence has no public access. However, Copthorn Homes
are currently building a block of apartments called
Urban Island on the River Lea just north-east of
House Mill, and have taken a ground floor suite of offices within Clock Mill to market the development.
Thus for a while at least, it's possible to enter the Clock Mill to visit the sales office. Within the
office area there are few reminders that you are in a mill, but in the lobby just by the entrance a pit
wheel, upright shaft and spur wheel, together with some tentering gear is preserved as a feature,
spotlit with coloured lighting.
