Museum of London Docklands

Explore London's connections with the rest of the world through an epic 2,000-year story of trade, expansion and immigration.

The Museum of London Docklands is located just a short walk from the dazzling skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. From Roman times to Docklands' regeneration, this 200-year-old warehouse uses interactive displays, recreated scenes, original artefacts and stories of trade, migration and commerce to reveal the long history of London as a port.

Our family specific gallery, "Mudlarks" is always popular with the under 12s, along with our reconstruction of a dock side street from the mid 19th century "Sailortown", visit the unusual shops and experience the sounds (and smells!) of the time.

Mudlarks provides interactive fun for toddlers (soft play) through to older children who can load cargo and even build a replica of the towers at Canary Wharf!
