About
A museum housed in 19th-century Georgian warehouses that presents the history of the River Thames, the growth of the Port of London, and the docks' historical connections to the Atlantic slave trade.
Free entry with a strong focus on river history and the Port of London. The warehouse setting is atmospheric. Children aged 8+ engage well with shipping and dock stories. Lower floors work for younger children. The museum café overlooks the water and is a good break point.
