Comment: from NASS registry- A spectacular, and perhaps unique dial delineated on the inside walls of a purposely built "Sun Tower". Roofed by a dome with a central aperture the concept of the dial recalls the Pantheon. Hourly analemmas are marked on the vertical walls of the Tower. Other indications include the sun's altitude and azimuth.

Location: at the junction of seven streets in central London. It is less than about 500 meters north of Trafalgar Square.
Date: unknown
Comment: “Known as “Seven Dials”. The sundials date back to the 17th century when the area was originally redeveloped. The trick question is how may dials are there at Seven Dials? The column and dials must have been refurbished and rededicated in 1989. The painted faces are now peeling badly but the gilding looks good. I didn't get any pictures of the east sun as this would have been right into the sun.”

Delineator & Designers: Dr. Ross McCluney delineated it and co-designed it with Arata Isozaki. Dr. McCluney was a founding member and the first President of The North American Sundial Society, and was the Principal Research Scientist at the Florida Solar Energy Center. Arata Isozaki is a Japanese architect and winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Date: 1990
Location: Team Disney Building at Disney World Headquarters, Lake Buena Vista Florida USA
Size: height: 120’, width at base: 118.5’, Width at top: 84.5’. The NASS Register says: “According to the Guinness Book of Records, 1995, this is the world's largest sundial.” Editor’s note: This claim is disputable because the word “largest” is not defined.
Comments: This is a large hollow cone that’s truncated and slanted. It looks like it has two sundials because there are hour and date lines on both the inside and the outside walls of the cone. But only the interior lines function as a sundial. The exterior lines and exterior gnomon are simply decorative and are nonfunctional. A single large horizontal pointed gnomon with a ball nodus sits on the cone’s rim. In 1992 the building won the National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects.

Maker: Designed by famed architect Milton B. Medary and ornately crafted by noted stone sculptor Lee Lawrie
Location: The sundial declines 4 degrees and 20 minutes on the southern wall of The Singing Tower at Historic Bok Sanctuary Florida. 1151 Tower Boulevard, Lake Wales, Florida 33853 USA
Date: sundial installed on October 26, 1928.
Size: approx 12 feet x 6 feet
Comment: The Gothic and Art Deco Singing Tower is 205 feet tall and houses one of the world’s finest carillons with 60 bells. The gnomon is a 5 feet long bronze rod supported by a bronze snake, the ancient symbol of time. The Georgia marble face is decorated with the twelve signs of the zodiac. Declination lines are present. Has hour lines with Roman numerals and half hour lines. There’s a sunburst pattern above gnomon. An Equation of Time correction table is at the base of the sundial. Edward Bok's Singing Tower is at the highest elevation south of the reflection pool so the water reflects its full image. Historic Bok Sanctuary is open every day of the year from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with last admission at 5 p.m. The Education and Visitor Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission tickets are good for one day only and do not include specially ticketed events.

Location: on the southeast and southwest sides of a tall center marker in the centre of the park bounded by Brock, Napier and Mack Streets in Kingston Ontario Canada
Date: June 1973
Size: A square pillar of limestone rocks 3 feet on a side and 12 feet high with a small bowl and sphere on top holds four vertical dials each 2x2 feet.
Comment: The pillar faces are not oriented to the cardinal points allowing the four declining dials. The dials are of solid brass with hour lines and Arabic numbers in a modern design contrasting to the rustic stonework of the pillar. The dial commemorates the five hundredth anniversary of the birth of Copernicus, and the 300th year anniversary of the founding of the city of Kingston as Fort Frontenac. We need a better photo of this dial
