Secrets of the warehouse tour
-
Visit some areas not usually open to the public.
Explore the hidden history of our Georgian museum building and its neighbouring streets.
Our building is one of the last remaining fragments of the old West India Docks. The warehouse was once a hive of activity and stored imports like sugar, rum and tea – eventually closing for business in the 1980s.
You'll have the opportunity to visit some areas not usually open to the public, to learn more about working lives of the dockers who once walked these floors.
The museum is open every day 10am – 5pm.
Here's where you'll find everything else you need to know about planning your visit.
Our address is London Museum Docklands, No.1 Warehouse, West India Quay, London E14 4AL. We're just a few minutes away from Canary Wharf and West India Quay.
Check our need to know page to get the answers to all the frequently asked questions about visiting.
Our cafe is the perfect place to sit down and relax for a bite or tea break. We have sandwiches, pastries, snacks and a wide selection of hot and cold drinks.
You’ll also find our shop with a curated range of gifts and souvenirs, including posters, prints, toys, books and jewellery.
