London Canal Museum
London Canal Museum tells the story of London's canals, their people, horses, boats and cargoes, on two floors in a waterside building dating from the 1860s, when it was built as an ice warehouse. Two large underground ice wells are under the ground floor and visitors can peer down into one of them. The story of the Victorian trade in natural ice is also told. The exhibitions cover canal life, the ice trade, the tradition of "roses and castles" canal art, the history of the Regent's Canal, the horses that pulled boats and ice carts, and how canals work and are supplied with water.
