London Museum Docklands
Explore the Story of London's River, Port and People
From global trade and maritime history to the rise of Canary Wharf, discover how the River Thames helped shape one of the world's greatest cities.
Housed within a beautifully restored Georgian warehouse at West India Quay, the Museum of London Docklands tells the story of London's relationship with the river over more than 2,000 years.
Visitors can explore galleries covering the growth of the Port of London, the development of the Docklands, migration, trade and the transformation of the area into today's thriving financial district. Interactive exhibits, historic artefacts and family-friendly displays bring the story to life for visitors of all ages.
The museum's atmospheric warehouse setting and fascinating collections make it one of East London's most rewarding cultural attractions.
