The Clarendon is named after [[Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon]], whose trustees paid £10,000 for the building of the original laboratory, completed in 1872, making it the oldest purpose-built physics laboratory in England. The building was designed by [[Robert Bellamy Clifton]].

The brothers [[Fritz London|Fritz]] and [[Heinz London]] developed the [[London equations]] when working there in 1935.<ref>{{cite journal | first1=F. | last1=London | first2=H. | last2=London | title = The Electromagnetic Equations of the Supraconductor | journal=[[Proceedings of the Royal Society A]] | volume = 149 | issue = 866 | pages = 71–88 | year = 1935  | doi = 10.1098/rspa.1935.0048|bibcode = 1935RSPSA.149...71L | jstor=96265| doi-access =  }}</ref>
