Museum of London Docklands

 

About Museum of London Docklands

Housed in an old warehouse, this deceptively large museum details the history of the London Docklands, and maritime trade in general.

Based over several floors, it wanders from issues of Britian's overseas trade during the age of sail, up to the modern regeneration of the docklands area as a modern office complex.
