About
A regional museum in the King's Cross area devoted to the history of London's canals, opened in 1992.
The canal narrowboat exterior is engaging for younger children aged 4+. The museum is small and can be covered in an hour. The ice well (a frozen ice storage building) is an unusual feature. Good combined with a walk along the King's Cross canal.
