Grade II* listed clock tower built to the designs of architect John Bunstone Bunning. The clock tower is the only surviving structure of the Metropolitan Cattle Market which operated from 1855 to 1963, latterly as a bric-a-brac market after the trade in livestock ceased.

Caledonian Park occupies part of the site of a Victorian cattle market, with housing on the rest of the site. The clock tower, which was at the centre of the market, survives. The clock tower is Grade II* listed.

The Caledonian Park Clock Tower was built as the centre piece to the Metropolitan Cattle Market which opened in 1855 to replace Smithfield as London's main livestock market. The tower was designed to act as a focal point for drovers entering London. Prior to that, it was known as Copenhagen Fields. On 21st April 1834, 100,000 people gathered here in support of the Tolpuddle martyrs. The cattle market closed in 1939. The original railings of the cattle market can still be seen - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7015996 The sale of meat ended in the 1960s. The market buildings were then mostly demolished, council housing, principally the Market Estate, was built over much of the site, and the remainder converted to Caledonian Park.
