Museum Of London Docklands

Museum Of London Docklands

The Museum of London Docklands is part of the Museum of London Group, which includes the Museum of London. The Museum of London Docklands has been closed throughout the summer to host Deutsches Haus, the official base for the German National Olympic Committee. I'm a big fan of the Museum of London Docklands, especially Mudlarks which is one of the best museum children's play areas in London. This 200 year old warehouse reveals the long history of London as a port through stories of trade, migration and commerce.

 

Museum Of London Docklands For Kids

Many original features remain including much of the timber flooring which is even older than the building. The Museum of London Docklands explores the story of London's river, port and people, from Roman settlement of the port, through to the recent regeneration of London's former Docklands.
