The Hoxton Trust, which runs this garden, has: "Our distinctive clock tower is a unique feature of the garden. It was taken from the Eastern Fever Hospital which was being demolished to make way for the Homerton University Hospital in 1982." However we cannot find an image showing this clocktower on any building related to the hospital, so we can't corroborate this claim. We are a little sceptical because this garden is 2.5 miles distant from the site of the hospital, which seems odd.
The Trust adds: The cupola is constructed of wood in a baroque style, with a deeply projecting curved eaves cornice and louvered panels. Each of the four sides has a clock face; black with Roman numerals in gold. A weather vane sits on top. The builder is unknown, and it is possible the cupola is much older than the building from whence it came, possibly late-17th century.

From geocaching: "The garden was laid out in the early 1980s, funded by Hackney Council, and it was opened in 1983 by David Bellamy."
