London Museum Docklands

London Museum Docklands is located a stone’s throw from Canary Wharf or West India Quay stations. Opened in 2003, it occupies one of the few remaining original grade one listed warehouses, built in 1802 to store produce from the West Indies.

Here, you’ll find our fascinating Port & River collection, the long history of the capital as a port is revealed through stories of trade, migration and commerce from Roman settlement to the development of Canary Wharf.
