The Circus

The Circus Clock (Berkeley Memorial) Standing proudly at the center of The Circus, a historic roundabout in Basseterre, the Berkeley Memorial is one of St. Kitts’ most recognizable landmarks. This ornate, cast-iron structure was built in 1883 and features a unique combination of a clock with four faces – each one pointing toward one of the four streets that converge at the square – and a drinking fountain at its base. It was dedicated to Thomas Berkeley Hardtman Berkeley, a former president of the General Legislative Council in the 1880s. Also known affectionately as “Little Ben,” the memorial was designed by George Smith and Co. of Glasgow, Scotland, and is the only surviving example of its kind. It is a popular spot for photographs and serves as a convenient central reference point when exploring the capital city.

Located on Bay Road in Basseterre, the War Memorial is a significant historical landmark and a poignant tribute to the brave men of St. Kitts, Nevis, and Anguilla who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I and World War II . This tall obelisk, known locally as ‘The Cenotaph,’ serves as a solemn reminder of the impact of these global conflicts on the local community
