Venue Description

The museum tells the story of London's colourful canals, their people, cargoes, horses and trade. It is housed in a former ice warehouse built in the 1860s to store ice imported from Norway. You can peer down into a huge ice well and discover the Victorian ice trade as well the inland waterways.
